Gaidano replaces Jeremy Deacon, a consultant with Eurolaunch b.v., which had facilitated Horizon Organic’s U.K. acquisitions program that included Rachel’s Organic Dairy, Organic Matters and Meadow Farms.

“Thanks to help from Eurolaunch, Horizon Organic has established itself as a leading provider of organic milk in the U.K. We are now on course to introduce a series of Horizon Organic branded products alongside our own-branded services to our supermarket clients. This is a very exciting time for the organic dairy sector which offers tremendous growth potential. Together with our retail partners, we aim to gradually expand the market for organic milk,” stated Gaidano.

Horizon Organic produces and markets the leading brand of certified organic milk and a full line of refrigerated, certified organic dairy products.
