Major dairy investment for Shropshire: Seeing a gap in the market has led Austrian dairy giant MOM to make an ambitious investment in the UK dairy market

摘要

AUSTRIAN DAIRY company NOM will set up a dedicated producer group to help supply its new ￡50m yogurt plant currently being built in Telford. NOM's managing director David Potts says the plant, which will be completed at the end of this month, is "good news for dairy farmers, good news for the UK dairy industry, and good news for the consumer." "We are contracted to take milk from Dairy Farmers of Britain while we are in the stages of running-in the plant, but ultimately, once we are up to full production capacity, we will be targeting our own farmers to supplement what we are buying from DFoB. There is absolutely no intention to import milk — we've built the plant at Telford purely because of the good local network of dairy farms."
