Valio increases its Russian influence

摘要

Dairy products from Russian milk are being sold for the first time by the leading Finnish processor Valio. But the sales - of UHT milk and a range of drinking yogurts - take place only in Russian outlets through a partnership between Valio and the new Galaktika dairy plant in Gatchina near St. Petersburg.rnValio contributed planning expertise to the new Calaktika plant and also machinery from some of its Finnish plants. Daily throughput so far totals around 300,000kg, with Valio handling the marketing of the products. Valio also markets butter and cheese from Finland in Russia.
