The DMK Group’s journey began with the merger in 2011 of two leading dairy companies, Humana and NORDMILCH. This pivotal move established DMK as the largest dairy cooperative in Germany, with a rich history that stretches back over 150 years. In 2016 the Dutch cooperative DOC Kaas joined the DMK Group. Over the years, the cooperative spirit remains deeply ingrained in its identity, providing stability and direction through times of transformation. As a farmer-owned company, DMK Group takes pride in its roots and the regions it represents. 

At the heart of DMK Group is a vibrant community of nearly 4,000 DMK farmers, 600 DOC Kaas farmers and 6,800 employees. The cooperative embraces the model of selfmanagement and collaborative efforts to address challenges and innovate for the future of milk production. 

The success of DMK Group is evident in its wide array of quality products, ranging from cheese and quark to ingredients and baby food, all crafted to meet the diverse tastes of consumers.

With a stronghold in the hard and sliced cheese category and the ingredients business and a significant presence in food service, DMK Group ensures quality and variety. Trusted brands like MILRAM®, Uniekaas®, Oldenburger®, Humana® and Alete® have earned the confidence of millions, not just in 
Germany but globally.
