Milbona is a prominent private-label brand specialized in dairy products, exclusively owned and distributed by the German discount supermarket giant Lidl. The brand was established to provide a wide range of high-quality dairy offerings, including milk, cheese, and yogurts, at competitive price points for Lidl's international customer base.

While the brand is German in origin, its manufacturing is decentralized. To ensure freshness and efficiency within the supply chain, Milbona products are produced in multiple countries across Europe, including Germany, Belgium, and France, often sourced from local dairy processors in the regions where they are sold. For instance, products sold in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) are primarily manufactured by major German dairy groups such as the Theo Müller Group (T.M.A. Handelsgesellschaft).

Ultimate ownership of the Milbona brand lies with the Schwarz Group (Schwarz Gruppe), headquartered in Neckarsulm, Germany. As one of the world's largest retail empires, the Schwarz Group manages the brand through its Lidl subsidiary. The company remains privately held, largely controlled by the Dieter Schwarz Foundation, ensuring its long-term strategic independence in the global retail market.
