Primark owner Associated British Foods has struck a deal to buy dairy technology firm National Milk Records (NMR) for £48m.
AB Foods, which also has major sugar, foods and ingredients businesses, said the deal would boost its agriculture-food arm AB Agri, which works with over 2,000 UK dairy farms as part of its global operations.
Founded in 1943, NMR - which has its head office in Wiltshire - provides milk and cow health testing and data services for farmers and milk buyers, as well as third parties such as vets and breed societies.
