Saputo Dairy UK Limited is a holding company for Dairy Crest Limited; a leading British dairy products company. It was created in May 2019, when the Canadian company Saputo Inc bought out Dairy Crest. Dairy Crest itself was created in 1981, as a spin off of the Milk Marketing Board. Its brands include Saputo Dairy UK, Cathedral City Cheddar cheese, Country Life butter, Utterly Butterly, Vitalite and Clover.
Dairy Crest processed and sold milk (wholesale and via doorstep deliveries) and owned the milkshake brand Frijj until the sale of this part of the business to Germany’s Müller in December 2015. The company was listed on the London Stock Exchange as Dairy Crest plc, until it was acquired by Saputo in April 2019. Saputo rebranded the company under its own name later that year.
