Elopak has extended its partnership with Rørosmeieriet Dairy, the only organic independent dairy in Norway. The dairy has seen significant growth with a current share of approx. 37% of the Norwegian organic dairy market, and is set to embark on major evelopments at its location in Røros, the mountain region of the eastern part of Southern Norway.
Established in 2001, by a cooperative of milk producers, Røros has experienced steady growth, and has taken organic dairy from ‘niche to volume’ in Norway.
The dairy will be expanding and rebuilding its Røros site with new lines, supported by Elopak with the supply of filling machines and downstream equipment.
Opening in 2019, the new plant will be a showcase dairy for Norway and for organic dairy production in Europe.
Røros launched its fresh-milk range in 2015 in 1 litre Pure-Pak Classic cartons with Optima closure. In January 2016, the dairy became the first in Norway to select Pure-Pak cartons made from renewable materials.
