DMK now principal shareholder in powders group

DMK, Germany’s largest dairy now processing an annual 6.8 billion kg milk, has increased its stake in the Dutch food ingredients specialist DP Supply of Emmen. Since its inception, DMK has repeatedly named the ingredients sector as a major strategic growth area.

Last year DMK secured a 30% holding in the Dutch company, which is regarded as an international leader in the so-called non-dairy ingredients field. This area covers vegetable-based coffee creamers and fat powders, with no lactose but often still including milk proteins. Now, DMK has become principle shareholder in the Dutch concern which is also well established as a prominent innovator of new ingredients for the food industry.
