Administrative history
Kleefeld Co-operative Diary Limited was founded in 1938. A fire in December 1947 destroyed the early records. The cheese factory in Kleefeld (founded in 1933), co-operatively owned by local farmers closed in 1957. The cooperative ceased business in May 1976 and closed its affairs by the end of 1977.
