Swiss Emmi has acquired the Belgian company Haerten & Interimex, a specialist in cheese distribution in Belgium and Luxembourg.

Emmi has had a presence in the Belgian and Luxembourg market for a number of years with its cheese and fresh products but the acquisition of the well-established trading company will strengthen Emmi’s local expertise and market position in the countries. This new Emmi subsidiary will distribute Emmi’s entire product range in Belgium and Luxembourg from the beginning of 2008.
