In Germany the private dairy Müller will close its plant in Cologne. Müller bought the plant from the Holland headquartered dairy cooperative Royal FrieslandCampina in one deal with the brand names Tuffi, Landliebe and other brand names. After the German cartel office required that Müller gave the Tuffi brand licenses for Landliebe to a competitor and sold them to the dairy cooperative Hochland, Müller no longer needs the Cologne plant and also Hochwald does not need it. On the site 220 people were processing 140 million litre milk on annual base.
