Miraka Announces Sale to Open Country Dairy
Miraka has today announced an agreement under which Open Country Dairy would acquire 100% of the company.
The sale brings together Miraka’s high-quality New Zealand milk, established supplier base and customer relationships with Open Country Dairy’s scale, network, and global market reach.
For farmers, customers, and kaimahi (employees), day-to-day operations continue as usual. Milk processing and supply contracts remain in place, as does our commitment to service and quality.
Board Chair Bruce Scott says, “There is a lot to be proud of for Miraka over the past 15 years, having grown to become New Zealand’s second largest Māori-owned exporter. However, there are significant challenges that come with being a standalone regional processor operating in a global market. Under Open Country Dairy’s ownership, our Miraka whānau will be part of a strong NZ-owned network serving the global dairy market.”
Miraka will continue to operate its current name and brand in the market, and will work closely with our suppliers, kaimahi, customers, key stakeholders and local community to ensure a smooth transition and long-term benefits for our community.
ENDS.
