One company: 1,950 owners
The Gmundner dairy farmers not only deliver their raw milk but are also, at the same time, owners of this cooperative with a long tradition.
Rooted in the region: In 1931 about 40 dairy farmers, mainly from Traunkirchen and Altmünster near Gmunden, had a vision: to create a common platform for collecting, processing and marketing their milk. Since the foundation stone was laid a lot has happened.
Something good from the Salzkammergut – made with love, it can be seen at first glance what the Gmundner dairy products are made of: a good piece from the Salzkammergut.
