Arla UK, the British subsidiary of Danish dairy giant Arla Foods, has opened a £150m fresh milk processing facility in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
The company claims this is the largest facility of its kind in the world and has the capacity to process 240,000 litres of milk an hour, or one billion litres a year.
In total, the Danish co-op processes 3.5 billion litres of British milk every year, making Arla the largest dairy company in the UK with leading brands such as Anchor, Cravendale and Lurpak.

The new facility in Aylesbury will employ 700 people and is the single largest investment in Arla’s history.
