According to results posted in 2015, Dutch-owned Friesland Campina (Napolact) comes next, with RON 394 turnover, followed by Greek capital company Olympus with RON 338 million and Hochland RON 216 million.
The only Romanian dairy producer with more than RON 100 million turnover is Simultan Timis, which posted a turnover of RON 143.9 million. Simultan Timis is owned by the Herbai family.
