In 1971 Theobald Alfons Müller took over the running of his father’s dairy farm in Bavaria, and all four of its employees. Fast forward sixteen years to 1987 and the Müller brand, which has rapidly expanded since, entered the UK market for the first time.
Today Müller is one of the nation’s favourite dairy brands, sourcing milk from 1,300 farmers in Britain to develop, manufacture and market a wide range of branded and private label dairy products for the UK market.
It's a pretty safe bet that everyone of us has one of our products on their table almost every day, whether as a dairy product, dressing or ingredient that we supply for other segments of the food industry, such as cheese for pizza or whey powder for baby food.
We also shape the industry internationally - whether in the United Kingdom, Poland or Italy. In numerous segments, our products are number 1 in the market.
