About Us
The Arla cooperative was founded around 100 years ago. Arla is the world’s sixth-largest dairy company and is owned by 13,500 European dairy farmers based in seven countries: Sweden, Denmark, the UK, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
Arla has production facilities in 11 countries and sales offices in over 30 countries. We believe in the importance of quality, food safety and innovation. Our dairy products are sold worldwide. In northern Europe, we sell a wide range of dairy products, including milk, butter, cheese, yogurt and cream. We export cheese, butter and milk powder to the rest of the world and we strive to develop new products that inspire consumers and contribute to a healthy life.
Arla has 19,600 employees worldwide and a net revenue of EUR 10,6bn - 71% from core markets, the UK, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Finland and the Netherlands.
Arla strives to work responsibly throughout the supply chain, from the farm right through production and distribution and all the way to the packaging recycling centre. We have clear targets for reducing our carbon footprint in both our environmental strategy and the strategy for sustainable milk production.
