Parmalat was founded in Italy in 1961. The Company
survived a 14 Billion Euro financial crisis in 2003, but
was re-listed on the Milan Stock Exchange near the
end of 2005. Parmalat Africa continued with its busi-
ness as usual and by means of good management
established itself as a valuable asset for the group.
Parmalat entered the South African market in 1998
by acquiring two prominent South African dairy com-
panies, Bonnita (owner of Zambia Dairy Produce
Board) and Towerkop. In doing so it became South
Africa’s second largest dairy company, with a nation-
al infrastructure and a well-established brand name.
In 1998, Parmalat Zambia Ltd. was established. The
forerunners of Parmalat in Zambia had a staff of 106
employees. Many of these staff members were em-
ployed by the newly established Parmalat and had
obtained their skills while previously working for The
Zambia Dairy Produce Board.
Since it established its dairy business in Zambia,
Parmalat has grown in size by diversifying its prod-
uct mix and it has succeeded in becoming the larg-
est processor of dairy and related products in the
country. Whilst Parmalat does not have dairy farms
of its own, it has entered into partnership arrange-
ments with Zambian Farmers, whereby Parmalat
purchases their milk production for processing in the
company’s factories within Zambia.
There are now ten processing plants, sixteen dis-
tribution centres and six agents operating around
Southern Africa, including Zambia, Botswana, Swa-
ziland, Mozambique and South Africa.
Parmalat is a dynamic leader in the local dairy in-
dustry.
