Freshways and Medina are Officially in Merger Negotiations

Posted on: 24/02/21

The two middle ground liquid processors have today confirmed they are in detailed (and indeed advanced) merger negotiations subject to approval from the Competitions and Markets Authority. The merger was first suggested on the 5th November 2019 news page of this bulletin.

For sure, the merger makes sense for the UK Liquid Dairy Industry, which desperately needs to voluntarily rationalise if it is to stand any chance of a sustainable and profitable future. 

The expectation must be that the next official press announcement from the two dairies will be that the merger is proceeding subject to CMA approval.
