[edit] Müller in the United Kingdom

Müller came over to the United Kingdom in 1986, setting up the subsidiary Müller Dairy (UK) ltd.. Construction began on its factory at Market Drayton in Shropshire in 1991, and in 1992 the company became market leader. As well as being the most popular brand of yoghurt in the UK, Müller yoghurts are also the second most popular food in the UK, after Walkers crisps [2].

[edit] Advertising

Müller recently launched a popular advertising campaign via television in the UK. Featuring 'Ain't Got No - I Got Life' by Nina Simone, it focuses on people dancing and smiling whilst eating Müller yoghurts. The advert can be downloaded from Müller's website.
