Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Limited (MG) was formed in 1950 when a group of 14 dairy farmers formed the basis of the Murray Goulburn co-operative with a view that they needed to combine their efforts to improve milk returns. MG grew to become a leader in the Australian dairy industry collecting milk from dairy farmers across Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania. With processing facilities across Victoria, NSW, Tasmania and China, MG manufactured and marketed a full range of dairy and nutritional products such as cheese, milk powder, butter and fat, drinking milk and liquid milk products, nutritionals and value-added products, such as infant formula.
