Dairy Farmers is one of Australia's largest and oldest dairy manufacturers, established in 1900, supplying products to local and international markets such as eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia.


HISTORY

On 15 January 1900 the Dairy Farmers Co-operative Milk Co-operative Limited was created by 65 stakeholders, most being dairy farmers in the Illawarra Region of New South Wales . The aim of the co-op was to market their milk and butter products effectively to city customers.1

After 107 years, Dairy Farmers is still 100% Australian owned by Australian dairy farmers, with 11 processing facilities in the country.2

In 2005, Dairy Farmers came third in dairy sales, with Norco Co-operative second and Pura first.
