Europe's largest dairy cooperative (merging with DMK 2025). Milk powders, whey ingredients, cheese powders, butter and private-label dairy across 30+ countries.
Arla Foods Ingredients Group is headquartered in Viby J, Denmark, and operates as the ingredients division of Arla Foods amba, a farmer-owned dairy cooperative. The company specializes in converting whey streams and milk-derived raw materials into functional ingredients, with production sites across Europe including facilities in Denmark that handle spray drying, agglomeration, and thermal processing. The company's ingredient portfolio includes whey protein concentrates, isolates, and hydrolysates; milk proteins such as alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin; casein-derived fractions; lactose and milk minerals; and bioactive components including milk fat globule membrane (MFGM). Beyond commodity ingredients, Arla Foods Ingredients offers solution-focused products for specific markets: early life nutrition products designed for infant formula, sports nutrition proteins for muscle support, medical nutrition ingredients for clinical applications, and permeate solutions for clean-label formulations. The company holds certifications including SEDEX, Kosher (from European plants), Halal certifications from multiple agencies, and maintains food safety standards aligned with GAIN Nordic Partnership frameworks. Recent investments include a EUR 32 million electric heat pump facility completed in 2025 at the Danmark Protein plant and electrification projects reducing natural gas consumption. The company was formed through a merger with Volac Whey Nutrition and operates multiple sales offices globally while maintaining technical support through application centres serving early life nutrition, sports nutrition, and medical nutrition segments.
