GERMANY/HOLLAND – Following ten years of strong growth in eastern Germany, Campina-owned dairy Mark Brandenburg is preparing to produce for export to Holland this summer.

Based in Elsterwerda near Leipzig, the 300 million kg per year plant, which already produces the group’s premium label Landliebe, will become one of only a few German dairies that ships fresh milk products to Holland.

The Elsterwerda plant is to be expanded this year to allow for further specialisation in desserts and fruit yoghurts, and the company says there could be more growth in the future.
