Clun and Leche Celta to Form CoRural, a €600 Million Galician Dairy Group

Regulatory clearance is the next step toward launching the farmer‑focused CoRural group.

Overview

  • The alliance would bring together roughly 1,400 milk producers, 800 employees and eight industrial plants, with annual turnover near €600 million.
  • Both companies will retain their identities and market brands, including Celta, Feiraco, Clesa and Únicla.
  • The partners describe a farmer‑centered model aimed at boosting milk collection and processing, widening product ranges and improving response to retailers and consumers.
  • The deal awaits authorization from competition authorities, after which José Ángel Blanco would serve as president and Javier Bretón and Juan Gallástegui as chief executives, with the registered office in Santiago de Compostela.
  • Clun contributes its cooperative base and Leche Celta its industrial and commercial scale to reinforce Galicia’s dairy sector and pursue stronger regional leadership.
