“As we’ve seen through the success of our dairy business in other parts of the world, this is a category with strong growth prospects,” said Mehmood Khan, M.D., PepsiCo chief scientific officer, global research and development. “Muller makes some of Europe’s most delicious and unique dairy products, and there is no better partner PepsiCo could have in order to meet historic U.S. consumer demand for premium yogurt. With the name recognition and trust Quaker provides, together, we will be able to offer U.S. consumers an amazing range of products that taste delicious and are unlike anything on the market currently.”
The joint venture is building a yogurt manufacturing facility in Batavia, N.Y. It is expected to be completed in 2013.
