Our Purpose and Vision
Our Purpose: Improving Lives Together
We’re committed to improving the lives of everyone we touch, including consumers, customers, milk producers, employees and those who live in the communities where we work.
Our Vision: To be the BEST in the world at efficiently producing functional cheese and whey ingredients at scale.
Our Heritage
Our company was founded on the principles of ensuring the common good. We wanted to create new opportunities for hardworking dairy farmers and give them a fair price for the milk they produced when we started in 1984. We applied those same business ethics to our customer relationships and built a global brand dedicated to unlocking the full nutritional and economic value of dairy.
Leading the
Way Sustainably
We understand sustainability is a collaborative effort. Our commitment to efficient use of water, energy and land, along with our carbon reduction strategies, adds measurable value to the sustainability efforts of our customers, producers and business partners. As a company, we’re committed to the industry’s effort to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
Innovation
We apply scientific understanding to every aspect of our business — agriculture, manufacturing, nutrition and sustainability — to extract maximum nutritional and economic value from all components of milk. We also make that expertise available to our customers to drive collaborative innovation at every level of the relationship.
Milk Supply
In 1984, a small group of dairy farming families decided to start a manufacturing company that did a better job of creating value for everyone in the supply chain, from dairy farmers to plant workers to consumers. We applied those same business ethics to our customer relationships and built a brand dedicated to improving the lives of everyone we touch.
