Laeva, Estonia
Valio Eesti AS
Estonian subsidiary of Finnish cooperative Valio Oy, producing cheese, butter, yoghurts and drinkable dairy across Laeva, Võru and Põlva.
Valio Eesti AS was established in 1992 and operates as one of Estonia's leading dairy manufacturers. The company produces and distributes fresh dairy products and cheeses, sourcing milk primarily from farms in Central and South Estonia. The company operates two production facilities: Laeva Meierei in Tartu County, which produces fresh dairy goods, and Võru Juustutööstus in Võru, a cheese manufacturing facility. In November 2024, Valio invested 7 million euros in constructing a high-tech cheese storage facility in Võru. The product range includes milk, yoghurts, puddings, mousses, kefirs, sour cream, cream, cottage cheese, desserts, and various cheese types, along with butter and foodservice products. The company also produces lactose-free product variants.
