Zott Yogurt and Dairy Products

Zott is a prominent family-owned dairy company that has established itself as one of the leading dairy producers in Europe. Founded in 1926, the brand has grown from a small regional dairy to a global player, known for its commitment to quality and innovation in the chilled dairy sector.

The brand's manufacturing footprint is centered in Mertingen, Germany, where its headquarters and main production facilities are located. Additionally, Zott operates significant production sites in Poland (Opole and Głogowo), allowing it to serve the Central and Eastern European markets effectively. This dual-focus on German heritage and European expansion has made products like Zott Monte and Zottarella household names.

Ownership of the brand remains firmly in the hands of the founding family through Zott SE & Co. KG. Unlike many large dairy brands that have been acquired by global conglomerates, Zott maintains its independence as a private, family-run business based in Bavaria, Germany, ensuring that its traditional values and long-term vision continue to drive the company forward into 2026 and beyond.
