Diversified dairy company that was the first in Germany to offer fresh milk products nationwide. Founded in 1896 by Ludwig Müller, the family-owned group of companies engages in a broad range of segments in the food industry.
Theo Müller took over the small dairy company from his father in 1971 and, through innovations in fresh dairy distribution, turned the company into a nationwide entity. The company entered the market in Great Britain in 1987 and continued European expansion throughout the 1990s. Acquisitions and mergers increased the company’s brand presence, including a licensing agreement to sell Nestle milk and dessert products. Today, the group owns such brands as Müller, Weihenstephan, Sachsenmilch and Käserei Loose. Additionally, the company offers commodities such as butter, UHT milk, lactose powder and whey protein. Through the group’s logistics firm, Culina, and Müller Naturfarm, the company operates one of the largest fruit-processing companies in Europe.
Unternehmensgruppe Theo Müller, S.e.c.s., generates annual revenue of over $6.6 billion, with over 24,000 employees operating in 19 production sites worldwide.
