Greiner Packaging has been supplying the Italian dairy company, Milchhof Sterzing, with high-quality plastic buckets including lids for over 15 years. Whether for 1 kg of natural yogurt, 5 kg of fruit yogurt, or 10 kg containers – the proven buckets combine quality, functionality, and sustainability.

Variety & Quality in Every Bucket

Buckets with lids from Greiner Packaging have become an indispensable part of Milchhof Sterzing’s product range. The 1 kg, 5 kg, and 10 kg yogurt buckets – all equipped with practical handles – have become standard. They are filled with classics like natural and low-fat yogurt as well as popular varieties like forest fruit. The IML buckets, lids, and handles are made from the same material, polypropylene (PP), forming a mono-material solution that significantly improves recyclability. At 1,000 meters above sea level in Sterzing, just half an hour from the Austrian border, the popular yogurts are filled – and reliably make their way from there all the way to Sicily in southern Italy.

More Than Just a Supplier Relationship

The collaboration between Greiner Packaging and Milchhof Sterzing goes far beyond the 15-year bucket anniversary: the two companies have shared a close partnership for over 30 years. It is based on trust, consistency, and service quality – qualities that make a real difference.

“Greiner Packaging is far more than just a supplier to us. For decades, we’ve appreciated the high quality of the buckets, the reliable service, and the collaborative partnership. Our products are perfectly packaged and available to customers throughout Italy and in regions of Austria and Germany.” 

Rainer Marschall, Director of Milchhof Sterzing

For 15 years, Greiner Packaging has been supplying the popular buckets to Milchhof Sterzing – and for already 30 years, also yogurt cups in various formats and decorations. In this way, Greiner Packaging has been making an important contribution for decades to ensure that the South Tyrolean dairy can reliably and successfully place its high-quality products on the market.

Sterzing: A Strong Brand with Growth in the Bucket Segment

Milchhof Sterzing has established itself as a strong brand with high recognition value in Italy and far beyond. Especially in the bucket segment, the company has seen significant growth in recent years. With reliable packaging solutions from Greiner Packaging, Milchhof Sterzing is well positioned to meet this growing demand in the future.
