About Molkerei Alois Müller GmbH & Co. KG 

Founded in 1896 by Ludwig Müller, the former village dairy developed into a modern large dairy from the time it was taken over by Theo Müller in 1971. Around 140 million kg of milk are now processed into high-quality dairy products at the Alois Müller dairy’s Swabian headquarters. In many product groups, Müller has created a market with numerous innovations in the first place. For example, buttermilk, kefir, Müller Corner, Müller Rice or the flavoured Müllermilch. The company still holds top positions in these segments. The Müller brand is almost 100 percent well known and practically everyone in Germany knows the slogan: “Alles Müller, oder was?” (“Müller, what else?“).
