Who we are

We're Müller UK & Ireland, a family‑run dairy business and we're experts at what we do. Dairy is a key part of a healthy and balanced diet and we're super proud to help meet the nutritional needs of millions of people, every, single, day.

MMI is all about producing milk, cream, butter, milk drinks, and dairy ingredients from 1,300 British. MYD is the team behind favourites like Müller Corner, Müller Light, Müller Rice, and more – putting smiles on faces with every spoonful. And MMID? They're the logistics legends, delivering over 1 billion litres of milk every year to more than 5 500 locations across the UK, making sure everything flows smoothly from farm to fridge.

Together, we're growing fast, powered by passionate people who care about quality, sustainability, and making every day delicious.

As the UK's most popular dairy brand, we're always striving to make a real difference for our planet, our partners and our people, making sure we're helping to create a more sustainable dairy future.
