Amalthea takes over Campina's goat's cheese actvities

摘要

As of December 2007 Campina's activities in semi-hard goat's cheese were taken over by Amalthea van Dijk BV, a new joint venture comprising Amalthea (goat farmers cooperative) and cheese-making company Kaasmakerij Van Dijk BV. The takeover concerns responsibility for the production of goat's cheese, product development, marketing and sales of products under the international brand Chevagne, among others. Campina's Cheese & Butter group will focus even more intensively on semi-hard, naturally matured cheese from cow's milk with the emphasis on the Campina Milner and Campina Volmer brands as well as North Holland cheese with the Protected Designation of Origin of the European Union. The takeover of Campina's goat's cheese activities means the new company Amalthea van Dijk will take full control of the chain -from farmer to plate - just as Campina now does with dairy from cow's milk.
