The new factory will be designed to satisfy growing demand for lactose in the infant formula industry while adhering to strict quality standards.
Together with Arla Foods Ingredients’ existing joint-venture lactose plants in Germany, the added capacity will increase the company’s overall lactose volumes to approximately 135,000 tonnes per year.
Henrik Andersen, CEO of Arla Foods Ingredients, said: “This investment sends a strong signal to the whey ingredients market that we remain committed to supplying high quality products to the global nutrition and food industry.
“We have had a very constructive dialogue with a number of leading customers regarding their future demands for lactose quality, and our new plant will deliver on these demands.”
