The Boards of Arla Foods amba and Milk Link have announced the proposed merger of the two dairy co-operatives. The proposal will result in the full merger of Milk Link, the UK’s leading dairy farmer co-operative and Arla Foods amba, one of the largest and most successful European dairy co-operatives.
It was announced this week that the European Commission has agreed to refer to the UK competition authorities part of the proposed merger between Arla Foods and Express Dairies plc.
The boards of Arla Foods and Express Dairies plc are pleased to announce that the proposed merger between the two companies - announced on 27 March 2003 - was overwhelmingly approved by Express shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting held earlier today.
