A2 milk supply restored in UK
A2 Corporation wishes to advise that contract packing of a2 fresh milk for the A2 Milk (UK) joint venture has recommenced at an alternate milk processing facility following a fire at the Muller Wiseman Dairies Droitwich facility in Worcestershire.
A2 Corporation advised on 16 October 2013 that Muller Wiseman Dairies and A2 Milk (UK) were activating contingency plans for the processing of Droitwich milk volumes as soon as possible. An alternate contract packing facility has been engaged to process milk on behalf of the joint venture for the immediate term. This facility is a modern well established facility located within a reasonable distance from Droitwich and the a2 milk supplier base. Changes to the supply chain to accommodate the change in processor are under way.
A2 Milk (UK) expects supply to its grocery customers to be fully restored during this week.
The A2 Milk (UK) joint venture is progressively building its business following launch of a2 fresh milk in late calendar 2012 and is currently distributed to around 950 retail outlets across the UK.
