FrieslandCampina relaunches ingredients company

FORMER specialist brands of FrieslandCampina Ingredients have been incorporated into the strategic customer segments Early Life Nutrition, Adult Nutrition, Food & Beverages, and Animal Nutrition.

The company introduces its new global segment organisation which incorporates its four individual operating companies DOMO, Kievit, DMV and Nutrifeed. This marks the company’s evolution to a unique position in value-added, healthy and functional ingredients and solutions. It provides advanced solutions to customer needs for nutritional, healthy and tasty food products, as one unified brand. While keeping dairy at its core, the company will explore the future growth potential in gut health offerings, protein benefits, and personalised nutrition.

The company remains an international organisation with five regional offices to serve customers worldwide and is led by Kathy Fortmann as the President of FrieslandCampina Ingredients. Kathy Fortmann: “The introduction of FrieslandCampina Ingredients builds on the company’s strong history, which started in 1871 when farmers joined forces in local cooperative dairy factories. Today, we join forces again under one shared commitment: all our market segments are now serving our customers with a unified offering in high-quality nutritional ingredients and solutions for a variety of industries, and for all stages of life.”

In the new FrieslandCampina Ingredients organisation, the former operating companies are transformed into four strategic segments:

Early Life Nutrition: The segment delivers on the trust people have in Infant Milk Formula to help young children grow healthily and builds on a legacy of more than 75 years as world market leader in nutritional ingredients like GOS, HMOs and hydrolysates.

Adult Nutrition: The segment serves Performance, Active and Medical Nutrition. It includes an extensive portfolio of nutritional dairy protein ingredients, providing essential nutrients for those moments when people need them most.

Food & Beverages: This segment continues a long history of enriching global customers’ businesses with unique sensory expertise in creaminess, milkiness, mouthfeel, colour and texture for end-products in the coffee, (milk) tea, pastry, decoration, desserts, ice cream and soups & sauces markets, creating indulgent experiences that enhance the senses. It includes an extensive portfolio of functional dairy protein ingredients.

Animal Nutrition: This segment continues to work with an international customer base of dairy farms, building on a legacy of safeguarding high quality standards and reduced antibiotic treatments for animals.
