Müller steps in to process Tomlinsons milk for Sainsbury’s
Müller has taken over the processing of Sainsbury’s milk by Tomlinsons Dairies farmers, following the collapse of the processor earlier this week.
Tomlinsons, which processed between 15% to 20% of Sainsbury’s entire own label milk supply, collapsed after experiencing “significant cashflow pressures”.
It is understood the decision for Müller to process milk from Tomlinsons farmers helped ensure it retained enough supply to avoid milk shortages on shelf. The processing arrangement is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
Tomlinsons won a contract to supply Sainsbury’s milk in 2016, alongside fellow challenger Medina Dairy and market leaders Arla and Müller, as parts of efforts by the retailer to diversify its milk supply base.
