FrieslandCampina Ingredients has announced plans to expand its lactoferrin production capacity in Veghel, the Netherlands, by 60 metric tonnes (mt) in 2022.

The company is anticipating strategic growth in its early life nutrition and adult nutrition segments by increasing the production capacity.

FrieslandCampina Ingredients president Herman Ermens said: “Lactoferrin is a key ingredient in early life nutrition and has also shown potential health benefits for adults related to the immune system. Global demand for lactoferrin almost doubled between 2014 and 2019.

“By expanding the production capacity significantly, we can meet the needs of our customers. In addition, this investment exemplifies our strategy of growth through value-added ingredients.

“Thanks to our technological leadership and unique experience, we’re perfectly placed to offer lactoferrin of the highest quality that complies with the strictest global regulatory requirements.”

Upon completion of the expansion project, FrieslandCampina is expected to become the largest lactoferrin producer in the world with a production capacity of 70mtpa.

The expanded production location will feature new technology and make use of 100% green electricity to decrease the company’s carbon footprint.

FrieslandCampina claims that its lactoferrin is spray-dried and 96% pure, and is directly sourced from raw milk in its production location in Veghel.

FrieslandCampina Ingredients Early Life Nutrition managing director Anne Peter Lindeboom said: “Today’s announcement shows we’re committed to identifying and investing in the ingredients that bring the best possible value for our customers.”

Last October, United Dairymen of Arizona (UDA) announced a partnership with FrieslandCampina to produce lactoferrin, a speciality ingredient in early life nutrition.
