In 1981 the cooperative was converted into a public limited company. The cooperative principles were retained. Only natural persons should be able to purchase shares , with preference given to those associated with agriculture. Shareholders in the dairy industry must deliver the milk produced in their operations to the company, which in turn was obliged to buy it.
Milk processing was given up in April 2004. Since then, the milk has been processed at Uelzena in Uelzen . For this purpose, corresponding cooperative shares were drawn in order to be able to ensure processing in the long term. The Molda obtained the milk quantity required for its own production from the spot market .
