The company said the purchase of Nom Dairy would allow it to become a key player in the UK private label yogurt sector.
The Nom Dairy UK facility is based at Donnington Wood in Telford and covers a 24 acre site. It has a turnover of £43m a year.
The purchase follows other recent acquisitions including fresh milk processor Robert Wiseman Dairies and a chilled desserts factory.
Müller is also currently building the country’s largest butter-making facility at its Market Drayton factory site.
Heiner Kamps, chief executive officer of Unternehmensgruppe Theo Müller said:
“We believe that there are strong opportunities in the UK private label yogurt sector and the Telford facility will help us to realise our plans to provide customers with great products in this important market.“
Ronald Kers, chief executive of Müller UK and Ireland Group, said Müller wanted to be the biggest and best dairy company in the UK and the acquisition of the Telford facility would allow it to increase the range of private label yogurt products made with milk from British farms.
“We are ambitious for the future and we very much look forward to working with the team at Telford and our customers to realise the significant potential of this facility.”
The company made the purchase for an undisclosed fee.
