USA/SPAIN – Dairy company Dean Foods is reportedly in talks to buy two Spanish dairy companies from 3A.

3A, the French dairy co-operative, owns the Lauki and El-Prado Cervera dairy companies, and Dean is apparently looking to add to its holdings in Spain.

The French co-op is looking for suitors to buy its Spanish holdings due to financial problems, according to a report in the Spanish media.

Dean Foods might see this as an ideal opportunity to increase its European presence. The company already owns Spanish dairy Celta.
