Asked if the discussions meant DMK was looking to buy all of Alete, the spokesperson said: “At this stage, I cannot go into details. The planned acquisition is subject to antitrust clearance, which is why we are unable to provide any more information at this stage.”
DMK’s portfolio takes in areas including fresh dairy, cheese, ice cream and dairy ingredients, as well as infant formula and baby food.
The spokesperson added: “The market for baby food is very important for the dairy cooperative. The DMK group intends to expand its growth strategy for this market and develop further segments.”
