Valio
Finnish dairy cooperative HQ in Helsinki (Lapinlahti, Riihimäki, Seinäjoki, Vantaa, Joensuu, Haapavesi) — lactose-free pioneer with B2B OEM portfolio (Eila milk powders, Bettersweet, MFGM phospholipids).
Founded in 1905, Valio is an osuuskunta (cooperative) owned by Finnish dairy farms. The company operates multiple factories across Finland and processes milk into cheese, butter, cream, yoghurt, and specialised dairy ingredients including whey protein concentrates and isolates. Valio produces spray-dried dairy powders and dairy drinks for both consumer and professional markets. The company targets carbon neutrality in its milk chain by 2035 and has established biogas facilities, including a liquid biogas production plant opened in Nurmo in 2026. Valio manufactures plant protein products launched in Joensuu and announced plans to triple plant protein production capacity. The website references production at multiple sites including Riihimäki, Jyväskylä and Joensuu, though detailed certifications or specific production capacities are not detailed on the Finnish-language consumer site.
