will continue to operate the plant in Plan-les-Ouates/Geneva, which specialises in the manufacture of yogurt and desserts, on the current scale.
In July 2009, Emmi purchased a 60% stake in Nutrifrais SA from Geneva-based group Laiteries Réunies Genève. Emmi’s objective was to use production synergies and the transfer of know-how to strengthen operations at Plan-les-Ouates and reduce costs. In addition, Nutrifrais SA was to develop into a regional dairy for fresh products, and export projects were planned for the additional utilisation of production capacities.
Over the past four years Emmi has implemented various measures aimed at increasing Nutrifrais’ production volumes and thereby improving the plant’s profitability. As a result of the difficult situation on the currency front in particular, however, the measures put in place have failed to produce the desired level of export success.
