Arla Foods and DMK Group are proud to announce our intention to merge, creating the strongest dairy cooperative in Europe. Our merger brings together more than 12,000 farmers and we aim to become one joint cooperative that will achieve a combined pro forma revenue of 19 billion euros. With this move we progress towards creating the future of dairy, enhancing nutritious, high-quality dairy production and innovation in Europe and globally, while securing a strong milk price for our owners. The merger is subject to approval from the Board of Representatives in the cooperatives as well as regulatory approval.

In 2024, Arla Foods experienced a strong year, with revenue increasing to EUR 13.8 billion and strong profit levels enabling the highest dividend payout to farmer-owners in the company's history.
