Nordmilch's profits rise as well as its exports

摘要

Germany's largest dairy, Nordmilch, marked the end of years of internal reconstruction in 2008 with a €200 million increase in annual turnover compared to 2007. This amounts to €20m clear profit despite it processing roughly the same amount of milk.rnChairman of the Nordmilch board Dr Josef Schwaiger claims the turnaround comes from the move from reliance on bulk commodities such as butter and milk powders to direct marketing of more cheese and other high value articles under the Milram label. Improvements are reflected in the 10 per cent turnover rise to €2.5 billion. Another sign of the new marketing impetus is the export of Nordmilch products, up 30 per cent on the year and now earning 40 per cent of the giant dairy's annual turnover.
