Aurivo wins €3.3m contract to supply milk to Aldi stores

Sligo-based dairy co-op Aurivo, formerly Connacht Gold, has won a €3.3 million contract to supply fresh milk to Aldi stores in Leinster and Ulster.

Under the new contract, Aurivo, the State’s second largest milk producer, will supply Aldi with seven different product lines. It already provides Aldi with its Kilkeely Gold butter product.

The liquid milk products will be sold under Aldi’s Clonbawn own-brand label.

"We are delighted to increase our business with Aurivo," Aldi group buying director John Curtin said.
