SWITZERLAND &#8211, Emmi, the Swiss dairy, last week acquired Burra, a supplier of milk and cheese to catering establishments in Zurich.

Emmi is already active in the catering market via its subsidiary Emmi Interfrais and is hoping to achieve annual growth of 10% in the sector. Taking into account Burra’s turnover of SFr33 million (21.5m euro), Emmi’s sales are expected to reach 82 million euro in 2001 &#8211, a figure that represents 13% of the company’s consolidated group turnover on the Swiss market.

Burra will continue to operate independently of Emmi Interfrais.
