Arla sells brands to meet Milko purchase conditions

Date: 26/01/2012


The Swedish Competition Authority approved Arla’s sale of the Bollnäsfil, Fjällfil and Fjällyoghurt brands, to satisfy some of the conditions laid down for accepting the merger between Arla and Milko. The Authority’s decision to approve the merger between dairy companies Arla and Milko in October 2011 was subject to certain conditions. Arla must divest five of Milko’s brands, and similarly the dairy plant at Grådö. These requirements were imposed in order to maintain future competition.
Arla has now proposed selling the Bollnäsfil brand to Gefleortens mejeriförening and the ‘Fjäll’ brands to Norrmejerier. Both buyers are already active in the Swedish dairy sector. Plans are also underway for the sale of the Bärry and Tiger brands as well as the dairy plant at Grådö.
