28 Feb 2019 --- US dairy giant, Dean Foods Company, has revealed it is “reviewing strategic alternatives to accelerate business transformation” and is exploring a number of options, including a potential sale. The review could also include selling some of its brands, forming a joint venture, a strategic business combination, a transaction that results in private ownership or the “continued execution of the company’s business plan” – or possibly a combination. The company is struggling with falling milk consumption in the US and the announcement comes as it reports fourth quarter and full-year 2018 results with wider-than-expected losses.
