Amalgamated Co-operative Dairy Company (Pahiatua) was formed in 1957 from the merger of the Rexdale Co-operative Dairy Company, Konini Co-operative Dairy Company, and Nireaha Co-operative Dairy Company.

In 1973 the Amalgamated Co-operative Dairy Company (Wairarapa) merged with the Ruahine Co-operative Dairy Company to form the Tui Co-operative Dairy Company.
