Knud Erik Jensen, chairman of Arla Foods told Campina’s Members’ Council meeting, “we share the same challenges and the same ambition to develop our company to be able to deliver the highest possible milk price for our co-operative owners. Campina and Arla Foods are successful companies with a leading position in the dairy market.


 


A merger between Arla Foods and Campina was a merger between two equal parties. “The principle of equality is of great importance in this type of merger,” he said.
