Production underway at new ArNoCo whey-lactose factory
Production recently began at a new whey and lactose production facility that is a joint venture between Denmark’s Arla Foods Ingredients and German dairy co-operative Deutsches Milchkontor (DMK).
The factory, which cost more than 50 million euros to build, is operated by ArNoCo, an organization created by the two companies to produce high-quality ingredients for the food and beverage industries. Located in Nordhackstedt, Germany, the facility is adjacent to an existing 60,000 tonnes-a-year cheese factory owned by DMK that produces mozzarella and semi-hard cheeses.
