Arla Foods Ingredients Group is now an official subsidiary of Arla Foods. The reorganisation sets the stage for implementing the company’s ambitious growth strategy.
Although little will change in the short-term, long-term benefits will be drawn from the sharper focus on key strategic challenges. One of them involves securing the raw materials necessary to further growth.
Recently, Arla Foods Ingredients added a new strategic whey partner to its list – DMK in Germany. Established partnerships are in operation in Argentina, France, Norway and Sweden, with more planned in the future.
Almost a year of legal procedures and administrative preparation has gone by since the reorganisation was announced last May. A limited partnership company, Arla Foods Ingredients Group P/S is now formally a wholly owned subsidiary of the Arla Foods Group.
“Arla Foods Ingredients is a leading player on the global market for whey proteins,” said Henrik Andersen, CEO. “Our new status as an independent business gives the clear management focus that will enable us to consolidate and expand our activities to the benefit of our customers and our owners.”
Customers, suppliers and employees have all been informed of Arla Foods Ingredients’ new independent status.
