Expansion opportunities FrieslandCampina has recently expanded butter production capacity in Lochem, Netherlands and invested around €90 million to upgrade its manufacturing network in the Netherlands to boost high-protein dairy ingredients. This signals capacity to support increased B2B manufacturing collaborations, private label, and co-manufacturing opportunities for nutrition-focused dairy products.

High-protein growth Recent upgrades target 80 percent protein, instantized whey, and microparticulated whey protein for high-protein yogurts and beverages, indicating a strategic push into premium functional dairy products that can be co-developed or manufactured for health-oriented brands and formulators seeking protein-enhanced offerings.

Global reach With operations in 29 countries and products sold in over 100 countries, FrieslandCampina presents extensive cross-border sales potential for regional ingredient supply, dairy powders, and dessert fillings to manufacturers expanding internationally or seeking reliable international dairy partners.

Cooperative advantage As a cooperative owned by 14,634 dairy farmers, the company can leverage a stable milk supply and potentially favorable pricing for long-term ingredient contracts, enabling sales pitches around secure sourcing, sustainability commitments, and transparent supply chains for customers prioritizing ethical procurement.

Sustainability push The company’s long heritage and inclusive culture, combined with recent investments in technology-enabled production, position FrieslandCampina as a partner for customers seeking sustainable dairy solutions, process innovations, and traceable ingredients for brands with ESG goals.
