14 Nov 2014 --- Lactose from the factory will predominantly be sold into the vibrant infant nutrition sector.

It is not just about serving our customers now, but also serving them in the future, with a consistent, reliable supply of lactose day in, day out.”

Henrik Andersen, CEO of Arla Foods Ingredients, added: “We’re very proud to open this new lactose factory, and to have done so on schedule.

Where it is necessary, we are not afraid to invest in the production facilities required to do that, as this modern facility demonstrates. Meeting demand for premium dairy ingredients is a fundamental pillar of our ‘Quality starts here’ brand platform, and we are dedicated to ensuring our customers can source the products they want at all times.”
