Ons team

At FrieslandCampina in Veghel, we share a passion for getting the most out of milk with around 500 employees. Milk is full of nutrients and active substances that can be used as ingredients for existing products. By means of a fully automated process, we extract fats, sugars and proteins from the raw milk and cheese whey that comes in here every day. These nutritious and functional ingredients are then used in sports and baby food, paracetamols, tompouces, milkshakes and oral hygiene products. We do this not without success, because one in seven people worldwide now comes into contact with products containing ingredients from our factory in Veghel on a daily basis!
