Commenting on the launch, group marketing director Phil Chapman said: “This is a really exciting time for our dairy brands as we ramp up our activity in the UK, Ireland and throughout the rest of Europe. Cheestrings is a fantastic brand and a category leader in the UK and Ireland. We are confident it will do well in what is already a highly developed dairy market.”
