German dairy giant DMK Deutsches Milchkontor is on the brink of acquiring full ownership of Warsaw-based Mlekoma Dairy, following its initial 51% stake purchase. The move, reported by industry portal forummleczarskie.pl, signifies DMK’s growing presence in the Polish market and has sparked concerns about the influx of foreign companies in the country.
The finalization of DMK’s acquisition is pending approval from the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, solidifying its position as a key player in the Polish dairy industry. With a vast network of partners and facilities, DMK’s expansion into Poland through Mlekoma Dairy’s acquisition showcases the company’s strategic growth plans.
However, the trend of foreign acquisitions in Poland raises questions about the impact on local businesses and the economy. As Polish firms are increasingly being bought out by international corporations, the long-term implications for domestic industries remain uncertain.
