Since 2011, the activities of the HK Food Group, to which the Homann Feinkost , Nadler , Lisner, Hamker , Pfennigs, Hopf and Bastian’s brands belong, have also been part of the Theo Müller group.

history

Ludwig Müller founded a small village dairy in Aretsried in 1896 , which his son Alois Müller continued as a trained cheese maker in 1938. In 1971 Theo Müller , the founder's grandson, took over management of the company. With four employees, he built the dairy into a group of companies operating across Europe. The dairy was the first German dairy to start national sales of fresh milk products. In the course of the 1970s, Theo Müller brought Müller products through nationwide advertising campaigns and TV spots, e.g. B. with the soccer player Gerd Müller , as well as through innovations in conversation. In 1977 sales were DM 25 million.

In 1987 the company entered the UK market. In 1992, the first plant outside Germany was opened in Market Drayton (Central England). Only shortly afterwards, Müller Dairy rose to become the market leader in the yoghurt segment. With the acquisition of the Sachsenmilch plant in Leppersdorf near Dresden in 1994, the company started one of its largest investment projects. For 600 million DM, the largest and most modern dairy in Europe was built, in which today, as of 2013, more than 2000 employees work. Leppersdorf was to serve as the starting point for entry into the Eastern European market. More than 1.7 million tons of milk are processed in Leppersdorf every year. 50,000 tons of semi-hard cheese, 45,000 tons of butter , 25,000 tons of mozzarella and 20,000 tons of sour milk cheese are produced there every year, and there is also capacity for 2.7 billion packaging units for fresh milk products, 310 million liters of long-life milk and 60,000 tons for dairy products with fruits.

The Alois Müller dairy has had a sales office in Verona , Italy, since 1995 . From 2003 to 2007 this also took place in Spain, at the end of 2007 production for Spain was stopped again. In 2000, a consortium led by the Müller dairy took over the management of the Weihenstephan dairy, which at the time was still state-owned . The Theo Müller GmbH & Co. KG group of companies was founded in 2003 as the group's holding company. In 2007, the group invested 22 million euros in the construction of the world's first bioethanol plant at the Leppersdorf site, which has been producing 10 million liters of the fuel additive from the whey residue molasses since 2008. With the entry into the Israeli market in February 2008, Müller products took the first step beyond the borders of Europe. In addition to the Hebrew packaging appearance, the products are manufactured under the supervision of rabbis according to strict super kosher rules - for Israeli consumers, this is proof of particularly good quality. The yoghurts are produced under license by Milko Dairies, a subsidiary of Central Bottling Company Ltd (CBC). In 2008, a sales company of its own was established in Prague , serving the Czech and Slovak markets with Müller articles. The group also includes the Czech dairy Mlékárna Pragolaktos, one of the largest dairy companies in the country based in Prague. Also in 2008, in cooperation with Central Bottling Company Ltd (CBC) (Israel), the brand was launched in Romania , followed by the market entry in Poland in January 2009 .

Because of a longstanding rumor from an anonymous author, the group of companies stated several times in press releases in 2007 and 2009 that neither the group nor Theo Müller itself were close to right-wing extremist parties. Independent sources also consider the allegations to be refuted. One of the origins of the rumors is an action by the Munich magazine Wiener from 1989.

In 2011, the Theo Müller Secs group of companies was founded as a holding company based in Luxembourg. As CEO, Heiner Kamps assumed overall responsibility for the group of companies. At the beginning of 2012, the Theo Müller group took over the British drinking milk manufacturer Robert Wiseman Dairies, and in July of the same year Müller Quaker Dairy, a joint venture with PepsiCo , joined with Müller Corner (“Yoghurt with the corner”), Müller Greek Corner and FrütUp (“Froop “) Into the US market. Less than a year later, Müller Quaker Dairy's newly built dairy opened in Batavia, NY , in June

In mid-2012, the group took over the Minsterley production facility in Shropshire . Chilled Cadbury desserts , which Müller has been selling under license since 2004, are produced there. The takeover of NOM Dairy UK Ltd. followed in 2013. including the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Telford , Shropshire. From there, Müller Dairy's private label business is to be expanded in the British yoghurt market.

In addition to the dairy processing subsidiaries, the group also includes the packaging company Optipack, the company's own logistics companies Culina and Emhage, Fahrzeugtechnik Aretsried and Müller Naturfarm, one of the largest fruit processing companies in Germany. With a production of 110,000 tons per year, it is number three in Europe.

In 2014, Müller announced its intention to take over the milk activities of the British dairy company Dairy Crest (sales equivalent to over 1 billion) by the subsidiary Müller UK & Ireland Group. This makes Müller the largest milk producer on the British Isles. At the end of 2015, the Müller Quaker Dairy joint venture was closed due to unsuccessfulness; Müller sold his stake in Dairy Farmers of America .

Company profile

With an estimated turnover in the dairy sector of around 3.3 billion euros (as of 2013), the group of companies is one of the largest dairy groups in the world.

In addition, the branch business from Nordsee was part of HK Food until October 2018 .

Dairy Alois Müller GmbH & Co. KG

The Alois Müller GmbH & Co. KG or Müllermilch dairy, based in Aretsried near Augsburg, is the core company of the group of companies. The range includes milk and sour milk products, mixed milk drinks and fruit drinks.

Sachsenmilch Leppersdorf GmbH

In 1990, Sachsenmilch AG was founded under the leadership of Südmilch AG and out of VEB Dresdner Milchwerke , the management functions of which were largely occupied by people from the Südmilch executive board. For CEO Sachsenmilch was Wolfgang Weber , the chairman was Friedrich Wilhelm Schnitzler selected. However, already in 1991 financial problems arose in the implementation of the project. Then Sachsenmilch AG became a subsidiary of the Theo Müller group of companies, which produces under the brand names Sachsenmilch and Käsemeister . The company was listed on the German stock exchange with ISIN DE000A0DRXC4.

In 2010 the operational business was transferred to Sachsenmilch Leppersdorf GmbH. Since then, the AG has limited itself to asset management.

The Sachsenmilch brand primarily produces butter, buttermilk, long-life milk, powdered milk and “latte crema” ( instant milk foam). In addition, semi-hard cheese, sour milk cheese and yoghurt are produced with the Käsemeister brand . Part of the production is exported to Italy. The company has also been manufacturing permeate , retentate and various other concentrates since 1999 . Sachsenmilch AG also sells merchandise such as quark, whipped cream, sour cream and other yoghurt and dessert products.

Weihenstephan Dairy

The dairy logo

The (formerly state) Weihenstephan dairy has been another subsidiary of the Theo Müller Group since 2000. At the company's former location on the "Weihenstephaner Berg", dairy products were already being produced in 1021 in Freising by the Weihenstephan Monastery . The Weihenstephan dairy left "Weihenstephaner Berg" in 1998 and has been producing since then in a newly built dairy on the site of the former Schlüter estate .

History of the Weihenstephan Dairy

In 1803 the monastery was closed and turned into a farm. In the following years, a Royal Bavarian Agricultural Central School was established within the dairy in 1852 , a dairy research station in 1876 and a Royal Bavarian Dairy School in 1898 . In 1923, the company was incorporated into the South German Research and Research Institute for Dairy Industry with several other facilities . In 1967 the dairy was nationalized and thus commercial enterprise of the Free State of Bavaria , whereby the Free State took over 78.3% and the rest of what was then VIAG AG. During the state control of the company, it was initially converted into a GmbH in 1994 and listed on the stock exchange two years later as a stock corporation. In 2000, the Alois Müller dairy took over 75 % of the Weihenstephan dairy and the Hofmeister-Champignon family business took over 25%.

HK Food GmbH

HK Food was founded in 2007 by Heiner Kamps and Theo Müller, minority shareholders, as a company specializing in convenience food . The Nordsee fast-food chain and the founding of the Bastian’s bakery were integrated into the branch business. At the end of 2018, the group sold the Nordsee restaurant chain to a financial investor.

Homann delicatessen

Homann Feinkost GmbH is the market leader in the field of delicatessen salads and a leading manufacturer of fish delicacies, dressings and sauces. It was founded in 1876 by Fritz Homann as a meat and sausage factory in Dissen in the Teutoburg Forest , where he also started producing margarine a few years later. 20 years after the founding, the expansion of margarine production leads to the discontinuation of production and sales of meat and sausage products and Homann Feinkost is expanding its range to include deli salads, fish delicacies, tartar sauce, spreads, dressings and seasoned sauces. As a result, the company opened its first delicatessen factory in Dissen in 1961 and one of the most modern salad factories in Europe in 1993. In 2007, the HK Food Group, under the management of Heiner Kamps, took over Homann Feinkost and expanded the portfolio by taking over the parent company of the Hamker Group , the Northern European business area of ​​the English company group Uniq Feinkost GmbH and Weser Feinkost und Rügen Feinkost GmbH. After Theo Müller became a majority shareholder in the HK Food Group in 2010, Homann Feinkost was integrated into the Müller Group in June 2011. As CEO, Heiner Kamps assumes overall responsibility for the group of companies.

criticism

Gene milk debate

In the spring of 2004, the group initially left a survey by the Greenpeace shopping network on “genetic engineering in food” unanswered, until it issued a statement through its lawyers in April 2004: The group of companies had “done everything within its sphere of influence to prevent the use of genetically modified products Exclude animal feed ”. Notwithstanding this statement, Greenpeace found a significant proportion of genetically modified soy in feed samples at four farms that supply Müller milk. Since then, Müllermilch no longer denies that genetically modified feed can end up in the feeding trough of the dairy cows. Müller refers to the farmers' responsibility with regard to herd management, which also includes the type of feeding.

Protests by the environmental protection organization in front of the company headquarters resulted in multiple violent attacks by the security service and the company owner Theo Müller himself. The company boss was then sentenced to pay 45,000 euros. According to a ruling by the Cologne Higher Regional Court (OLG), the Group's products can continue to be referred to as GM milk .

However, representatives of the dairy industry counter that the term GM milk is incorrect and inadmissible because it falsely gives the impression that the milk itself has been genetically modified. In fact, only partially genetically modified plants are used in animal feeding, which has no effect on the milk. Five scientists have explained and confirmed this in a joint policy paper. According to an Emnid survey in January 2005, 70% of all German consumers believe the term GM milk introduced by Greenpeace to be misleading. After almost four years of legal dispute over the use of the term GM milk, the Federal Court of Justice rejected the revision of Müllermilch on March 11, 2008. Greenpeace can therefore continue to refer to miller's milk products as GM milk. A constitutional complaint against this decision was not accepted by the Federal Constitutional Court.

Receipt of subsidies

In its paper Müller-Milch milkt taxpayers, the Association for the Environment and Nature Conservation Germany criticized the company because it received subsidies for jobs in a new plant , but had closed plants elsewhere. Overall, more jobs were cut than created. Funding from the EU and the state of Saxony amounted to around 70 million euros.

Pressure on dairy farmers

In the spring of 2008, allegations arose that the Müller dairy, under the leadership of Theo Müller , tried to influence the price negotiations on the milk price by putting pressure on hundreds of farmers organized in the milk producer association. During the negotiations for the extension of the contract, it became clear that MEG was aiming to shorten the contract terms between the dairy and the suppliers. Until then, the dairy had continued to pay all farmers the milk price agreed in the expired contract, which was around 11 cents per liter above the prices on the free market. Dairy farmers organized in the MEG were written to by the Müller company and asked to leave the MEG; a prepared resignation letter was already attached to the letter. If they had remained in the MEG, the farmers would have been paid the spot market price . After massive protests by some dairy farmers organized in the MEG against this approach at the Aretsried site , Müller suspended the voluntary continuation of the milk purchase agreement with some dairy farmers.

There was then criticism of the MEG's approach from among the dairy farmers.

Misleading brand name

With the acquisition of the formerly state-owned Weihenstephan dairy in 2000, the Theo Müller Group also acquired the trademark and name rights from the Free State of Bavaria. Accordingly, the term Staatliche Molkerei Weihenstephan was used on the labels and on the website until around 2008 . In addition, the large Bavarian state coat of arms was shown on the packaging for advertising purposes, the use of which by private individuals and for commercial purposes is restricted by law. Critics complained that this gave consumers the misleading impression that Weihenstephan was not a private company, but still a state-owned company. In the end, the criticism was directed against the state as a seller: On August 23, 2011, the agricultural policy spokeswoman for the Bavarian SPD parliamentary group, Maria Noichl, demanded that the Müller company be prohibited from using the Bavarian state coat of arms. Already when the dairy was sold it was a mistake to allow the continued use of names and coats of arms.

Construction of a substitute fuel cogeneration plant at the Leppersdorf site

Between 2006 and 2009 there were discussions between the company and residents of Leppersdorf and the surrounding towns about the construction of a substitute fuel heating plant to generate energy for their own location. To this end, on December 10, 2006, a referendum was carried out to amend the development plan in the Leppersdorf industrial park. The citizens of the municipality of Wachau, to which Leppersdorf belongs, voted against the change with 65.5%. Proponents pointed to the high environmental standards in Germany and the safeguarding of the location and the jobs associated with it. Critics warned against increased emissions of toxic substances when burning garbage. Furthermore, increased noise pollution was feared. In April 2009, Müllermilch stopped the power plant planning and made the referendum invalid.

In June 2012, the regional directorate of Saxony granted approval for the construction of a gas and steam thermal power station on the Sachsenmilch premises. The investment amounts to around 50 million euros. Construction began in summer 2012 and commissioning took place in May 2014.

Site closings

At the end of June 2017, the Supervisory Board of the Theo Müller Group decided to give up the headquarters of Homann Feinkost GmbH in Dissen by 2020 and to build a new location in Leppersdorf instead . The works in Bad Essen , Bottrop and Floh-Seligenthal should also be closed as soon as the new building goes into operation. 1,550 employees were affected, 1,000 of them in Dissen, while in Leppersdorf 800 new jobs were to be created. There were concerns that subsidies were being paid for the relocation. Employees at Homann assumed that many employees would leave the company before 2020. On April 27, 2018, the Müller Group announced that it would continue production at the existing locations in Dissen, Bad Essen, Bottrop and Floh-Seligenthal in Thuringia.
