Altmark-Käserei Uelzena GmbH Bismark is a future-oriented cheese dairy rooted in tradition
With the establishing of the Altmark-Käserei Uelzena GmbH Bismark and the construction of a new cheese dairy building in 1992, the long tradition of milk processing goes on in the Altmark, a historic region in the northern third of Saxony Anhalt in Germany. The company, which is part of the Uelzena Group headquartered in Uelzen in Lower Saxony, has gained a good reputation, even beyond the German borders.

The 15 kg blocks of Edam and Gouda cheese produced in this cheese dairy, which is located in a town called Bismark, are supplied via distribution partners to wholesalers, sliced cheese producers and the food industry in general; some quantities are also exported.
The raw materials delivered to this state-of-the-art cheese dairy are produced by milk farmers from the Altmark, the Wendland and the Luenenburg Heath. The successful cooperation between milk producers, milk processors and distribution partners is a sound foundation for the continuance of milk production and processing in these mainly agriculturally used rural regions.
A new butter production facility has been erected at the Bismark site at the end of 1996; the production of butter started in 1997. The processing capacities in both production departments, butter and cheese, have since then been constantly improved by further investments and streamlining efforts.
