September 10, 1994: On this day, Berglandmilch was entered into the company register. Austria’s largest dairy took stock of 30 years on Wednesday in Aschbach-Markt in the Amstetten district. The central administration is located there, the company headquarters is in Wels. The roots go back to 1900, when the Schärding sales cooperative was founded, today’s Berglandmilch core brand.
The structure and consumer behavior have changed significantly since 1994, said General Director Josef Braunshofer. During this time, sales rose from 340 million to 1.2 billion euros, and the number of employees from 680 to 1,600. However, the number of operating sites (from 27 to nine) and suppliers (from 22,562 to 8,400) fell. Smaller companies in particular are increasingly closing down due to succession problems.
