Den 43. Nordiske Mejerikongres Anna Marie Thøgersen

I år er Norge vært for Den 23. Nordiske Mejerikongres, der finder sted i dagene 6.-8. juni på kongreshotellet Thon Hotel Lofoten, der ligger midt i byen Svolvær i Lofoten. Lofoten ligger nord for polarcirklen, og derfor vil der i juni måned være lyst døgnet rundt, og kongresdeltagerne kan i tillæg til et meget spændende program nyde midnatssolen.

Kongressens tema er i år ”Nordic Dairy Industry - Future Perspectives”, hvorunder Nordisk Mejeriteknisk Råd har sammensat en flot vifte af foredrag og indlæg ved 31 højt estimerede forskere og foredragsholdere fra mejeribranchen i Norden samt fra Belgien og UK. De norske værtsfolk har ligeledes planlagt mange spændende sociale events og udflugter, herunder bl.a. ”get-together” og gallamiddag samt mulighed for bjergbestigning, kajakture, dybhavsfiskeri, kulturel ”hand-made” tur, sightseeing, Sea Rafting og den Nordiske Golfturnering.

I dette særnummer af Mælkeritidende tager vi afsæt i Den 43. Nordiske Mejerikongres og sætter fokus på mælken og mejerierne i Norden. Desuden er vi meget glade for, at en lang række af mejeriernes leverandørvirksomheder har valgt at deltage i dette temanummer. Virksomhederne bidrager med mange spændende artikler om de nyheder, de tilbyder, og som er med til at fremtidssikre mejeribruget i Norden. ■

Milk & Dairies in the Nordic Region More than a hundred dairies are scattered all over the Nordic Region, some of them huge as Arla in Denmark and Sweden, Valio in Finland and TINE in Norway. Others are minor as MBM in the Faroe Islands, and in-between we find e.g. MS Iceland Dairies.

Yearly, the Nordic dairy farmers deliver approx. 11.3 billion kg milk to the dairies which in return produce dairy-goods for both the home markets as for the export markets. The Nordic Milk Market is dominated by the regions four largest; Arla in Denmark, Arla in Sweden, TINE in Norway and Valio in Finland.

These four dairy companies possess 9.7 billion kg of the available milk.

By Anna Marie Thøgersen

Huge changes in Sweden During the last couple of years, the Swedish dairy market has experienced huge changes. First of all the country’s no. 3 dairy company Milko merged with Arla in late 2011, and in early 2012 Sweden’s second largest dairy, Skånemejerier merged with the French dairy giant Lactalis ranked as no. 3 on the world’s Top-10. This situation left Arla Sweden with approx. 300 million kg extra milk and a total milk volume of 2.200 million kg.

Moreover Arla Foods’ products are by now available throughout the dairy goods market in Sweden, which had previously been highly fractionated.

The Nordic Giants Arla Foods is by far the dominant dairy company in the Nordic region, and almost one third of Groups turnover - DKK 20 billion is derived from the Nordic market.

As known, Arla Foods is not the only giant dairy company in the Nordic Region. In Norway, TINE MeieTable 1: List of important Nordic Dairies, mostly, ranked in relation to yearly milk amount. The numbers are based on the dairies annual reports from 2011/2012, or from the companies’ homepages. * Arla Denmark - staff at headquarter included. ** Skånemejerier was purchased by the French dairy giant Lactalis in 2012, the figures dates back to 2010. *** Arla Ingman +12 co-operating dairies. **** Synnøve buys milk from TINE.

rier is the absolute market leader and possess but a few percent all available Norwegian milk. During the latest years TINE has upgraded, built new plants and rationalized operations so that the Group currently operates production at 36 plants compared to 44 a few years ago.

In Finland Valio is the largest dairy company with 86% of the total milk volume of 2000 million liters. The Finnish milk market has in recent years been characterized by fierce competition, and thus the authorities are currently involved in pricing of the fresh liquid milk. Like Arla Foods, Valio is also export-oriented, and 40% of consolidated revenue derives from exports to Russia, the Baltic States and China etc.

Blooming minor dairies At the other end of the Nordic dairy scale, we find one of the smallest but yet the largest and only dairy on the Faroe Islands, MBM (Meginfelag Búnaðarmanna). MBM has an annual milk intake of 8 million kg, of which all are processed into fresh dairy products, exclusively sold on the Faroese home market.

A number of small private, co-operative or farmer-owned dairies are scattered all over the Nordic region.

Amongst relatively new-comers we find Den Blinde Ku (the blind cow) in Norway and Hårbølle Mejeri & Osteri samt Lindved Mejeri in Denmark.

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2013

Moreover, the number of farm dairies in Sweden is undergoing significant growth. Uncertain whether this is due to mergers among the large dairies, the number of small Swedish dairies producing primarily cheese is by now approx. 130!

Innovative Medium-sized dairies In between the huge and minor Nordic dairies we find more than a dozen of medium-sized companies, as listed in table 1. To operate a medium-sized Nordic dairy requires innovation and great skill. Most of the companies are precisely characterized by producing world famous and renowned cheeses, organic products, niche products

with good stories, seasonal food and much more.

One of the innovative companies is MS Iceland Dairies, and this dairy has in recent years been very successful in export / license-production of the company’s yoghurt type Skyr.

The product is spot on in the growing market for yogurt. ■ Country

TINE i Norge TINE er Norges ledende leverandør av merkevarer innen mat og drikke med fokus på meieriprodukter. TINE har mer enn 1300 varelinjer i sin portefølje, og produseres på 36 meierier spredd over hele landet. TINE bearbeidet til sammen 1,25 milliarder liter ku- og geitemelk i 2012. I 2012 hadde TINE driftsinntekter på 19,8 milliarder kroner og et driftsresultat på 934 millioner kroner.

Av Kari Raunedokken, kommunikasjonsrådgiver, TINE SA

Jarlsberg - internasjonal merkevare TINE har datterselskaper i Sverige, Danmark, Storbritannia og USA og omsetningen er hovedsakelig basert på salg av norske og internasjonale merkevarer på ost. Totale driftsinntekter for internasjonal virksomhet utgjorde i 2012 ca. ti prosent av konsernets omsetning. Av det totale ostevolumet solgt i utlandet er ca. 30 prosent produsert på norsk melk. For å sikre økt salg og muligheten for økt produksjon av Jarlsberg i USA, kjøpte TINE i 2012 virksomheten i det amerikanske selskapet Alpine Cheese Co., forteller Hanne Refsholt, konsernsjef i TINE. Jarlsberg er i dag TINEs største merkevare på det internasjonale markedet med egen produksjon i Norge og USA, samt leieproduksjon i Irland. I tillegg foretas

Totalt selger TINE rundt 27.000 tonn Jarlsberg årlig i verden, og Jarlsberg står for godt 90% av koncernens nuværende eksport.

bearbeiding, foredling og pakking av ost ved TINEs anlegg i Storbritannia og i Sverige.

- TINEs ambisjon er at en stadig større andel av omsetningen skal komme fra meierivirksomhet og salg av spesialost i markeder utenfor Norge, sier Hanne Refsholt. Derfor samarbeider TINE med datterselskaper og partnere for å styrke Jarlsberg og Snøfrisk som internasjonale merkevarer. - Gjennom internasjonalt samarbeid utvikles konsepter, produkter, design/emballasje og globale merkevarestrategier, fortsetter hun.

Vi jobber på tvers av hele verdikjeden, og vi satser også på merkevarebygging innen spesialost. Totalt selges det rundt 27.000 tonn Jarlsberg årlig i verden.

Eksporten av Jarlsberg startet i USA i 1961, men i dag selges den over hele verden. Jarlsberg står for godt 90% av TINEs eksport i dag, og er nummer én i sitt segment av importerte oster i både USA, Canada og Australia. I USA selges osten i hele ni av ti supermarkeder, og hvor Jarlsberg er den mest kjente og solgte utenlandske spesialosten innen sin kategori.

TINE har tre heleide globale datterselskaper – i USA, Sverige og UK. I USA har TINE hatt et heleid datterselskap, Norseland Inc, siden 1979, kjøpt av norske bønder for å sikre levering av Jarlsberg til det amerikanske markedet. Selskapet har også et avdelingskontor i Canada. 2012 ble virksomheten i meieriet Alpine Dairy LLC i Ohio i USA kjøpt. Siden 2000 har de drevet leieproduksjon av Jarlsberg. En av årsakene til dette var at etterspørselen etter Jarlsberg vokste ut over importkvoten.

Som del av denne langsiktige satsing internasjonalt, kjøpte TINE det

svenske selskapet Wernersson Ost i 2007. Wernersson markedsfører og distribuerer spesialost til Norden og Baltikum.

Også det britiske ostemarkedet er et satsningsområde, og i 2008 kjøpte TINE det britiske Ilchester Cheese Company Ltd. som nå er en del av TINEs heleide datterselskap i Storbritannia (Norseland Ltd.).

Pulvereksport Refsholt forteller videre, at TINE fra og med 2013 kommer til å produsere mer enn 25.000 tonn mysepermeatpulver (Whey Permeat Powder) årlig.

- Det er mer enn markedsbehovet i Norge. Derfor er det inngått en langsiktig kontrakt med en internasjonal meieriaktør om salg på verdensmarkedet. Dette er en spennende satsing som vi følger nøye, sier Hanne Refsholt.

norske melkemarkedet. I løpet av de siste 10 år har dette bildet endret seg. I tillegg til nye nasjonale aktører har det vært en betydelig vekst i importen, spesielt av ost, yoghurt og smaksatte melkedrikker. Men fremdeles er TINE klart den største aktøren i Norge, på lik linje med Valio i Finland og Arla i Danmark og Sverige.

fruktyoghurt og smaksatte melkeprodukter. I dag er volumet i osteavtalen på 7200 tonn. Denne mengden ost kan utveksles mellom EU og Norge uten av det belastes med toll. For smaksatte melkedrikker og fruktyoghurt er det ingen spesifikke volum, men tollen på de nevnte produktene er meget lav.

Eksporten fra EU og dermed fra Danmark, Finland og Sverige forholder seg til de samme avtaler. - Det innebærer at Norge står i en særstilling i forhold til de tre andre nordiske land. Handelen og posisjonen på de ulike nordiske markeder er derfor nært knyttet opp til de rammer politikerne ønsker å legge til grunn for den nordiske (europeiske) handel med meieriprodukter, avslutter Hanne Refsholt. ■

EØS Da Norge ikke er medlem av EU, bygger Norges relasjon til EU (og dermed Norden) på en egen avtale, Det Europeiske Økonomiske Samarbeidsområde (EØS). Det innebærer at omsetning av norske produkter i de øvrige nordiske markeder skjer som eksport, i hovedsak basert på de rammer EØS-avtalen mellom EU og Norge inneholder.

Arla in Sweden, Denmark and Finland Arla Foods is no. 6 on the world’s Top-10 dairies. The company achieved landmark results for 2012 of a turnover at DKK 63.1 billion and net profit at DKK 1.9 billion despite great challenges in the global markets. Arla Foods, owned by Danish and Swedish farmers amongst others, is by far the dominant dairy company in the Nordic region, and almost one third of Arla’s turnover, in fact DKK 20 billion is derived from the Nordic market.

Successful integration of Milko

Private labels and Lactosefree in Sweden

The Swedish dairy market has experienced huge changes during the past couple of years, as the country’s no. 3 dairy company Milko merged with Arla in late 2011. - The merger has been a very extensive process.

New distribution lines were established and 2,000 new customers came into Arla’s systems from Milko.

The merger with Milko has gone very well, tells Christer Åberg, Executive Vice President, Consumer Sweden.

He adds, that never before have so many Arla products been sold in Sweden as in 2012.

In Sweden Arla Foods increased the turnover by 11 per cent to DKK 11.8 billion in 2012. - But it is a tough market, and our strategy is to develop Arla’s business, both in terms of the Arla brand and within the own label market. Compared to other countries, the number of own label dairy products are not high in Sweden, but the segment is growing, and we want our share of the market by offering our customers good solutions, underlines Christer Åberg.

Arla Sweden has experienced sale increases in a number of Arla Brands

during recent years e.g. the range of functional dairy products branded Arla Wellness as well as fat/proteinrich dairy products as Bregott, cream and cottage cheese Keso due to the Swedes LCHF dieting. But especially, Arla Sweden’s full range lactose-free products are rocketing in sale.

Discount and private label in Denmark Arla Foods in Denmark had a 2012 turnover of approx. DKK 6.8 billion.

The Danish market is difficult due to the economic crises, and the proportion of discount products increased.

Arla Denmark especially met this trend within basic products like milk and yellow cheese.

We expect that 2013 will also be characterised by discount products and price, which is why we strengthen our focus on the Arla brands in competition with own label and improving our efficiency, says Executive Vice President Peter Giørtz-Carlsen, Consumer Denmark.

Fierce competition for Arla Ingman in Finland In Finland Arla Ingman increased its turnover to DKK 2.42 billion in 2012 (from DKK 2.25 billion in 2011).

Earnings, however, continued to suffer due to unnaturally low prices in the fresh milk category.

Following a complaint from Arla Ingman, the Finnish competition authorities have by now stated that Arla Ingman’s competitor had abused its position in the milk market.

Arla Ingman is a clear no. 2 in the Finnish market, and the company is an alternative to customers and consumers with new product launches such as organic dairy products as well as a broad range of Finnish and imported dairy and juice products from Sweden and Denmark.

Valio i Finland Valio är Finlands största mejeriföretag med 86 % av den totale producerade mjölken på 2000 miljoner liter. Valio har idag 8000 mjölkleverantörer och 15 produktionsanläggningar.

Hemmamarknaden är viktigast och den svarar för 60 procent av Valios omsättning, som senaste år var 1997 miljoner €.

Av Riggert Förnäs, mejeriingenjör, Esbo, Finland

Finlands ledande mejeriföretag Från Finland exporterades i början av 1900 talet betydande mängder smör till England. För att ombesörja exporten och svara för kvaliteten grundades Smörexportandelslaget Valio 1905. Från denna början har Valio vuxit till Finlands största mejeriföretag med 86 % av den producerade mjölken.

Från att ha varit ett andelslag är Valio nu ett aktiebolag, som ägs av 18 andelslag av vilka nio är i affärskontakt med Valio.

I Finland har mjölkgårdarna i medeltal 30 kor och deras sammanlagda mjölkmängd är 2000 miljoner liter, Valios andel är 1720 miljoner liter.

Valio har idag 8000 mjölkleverantö-

rer. Företaget har 15 produktionsanläggningar bl.a. världens modernaste fettfabrik i Seinäjoki. Fem fabriker producerar färskvaror som distribueras från terminaler, som är anslutna till färskvarufabrikerna. Ost produceras på sju anläggningar och mjölkpulver, barnmat och vasslepulver på de övriga. Valios personal uppgår i dag till 4600 personer.

Hemmamarknaden är viktigast och den svarar för 60 procent av omsättningen, som senaste år var 1997 miljoner €. Valio är marknadsledare men möter allt mera ökande utländsk konkurrens. Speciellt inom yoghurtoch ostsegmenten är konkurrensen hård. Hälften eller 50 procent av ostkonsumtionen består av importost och 30 procent av yoghurten är

Den hårda konkurrensen har också fört med sig att Valio beskyllts för att utnyttja sin dominerande ställning i prissättningen av basmjölken. Konkurrensverket har dömt Valio till böter men tvisten som pågått i några år är ännu inte avgjord.

Den ryska marknaden är stadd i stark tillväxt. Valio har en distributionscentral och smältostfabrik i Moskva där man tillverkar Viola smältost, som har funnits på den ryska marknaden sedan 1956. Valios smör och gräddosten Oltermanni är också av tradition mycket omtyckta i Ryssland. Färskvarorna (mjölk och yoghurt) har under de senaste åren varit den snabbast växande produktgruppen i Ryssland speciellt i St. Petersburg och Moskva. Valio säljer nu för nästan 350 miljoner € per år i Ryssland.

På den amerikanska östkusten i New York området är Valio-emmental marknadens ledande importerade emmentalerost.

I Kina har Valio en ledande position som leverantör av högkvalitativa vasslepulver och är en av de tre största i världen som säljer vasslepulver med låg mineralhalt. Valios Demipulver används i Kina som råvara till barnmat.

Valio sysselsätter 650 personer i sina utländska dotterbolag och en tredjedel av omsättningen kommer därifrån. Valio har en stark position på sina närmarknader i Baltikum, Ryssland och Sverige. Totalt är Valio verksamt i över 60 länder.

en framgångshistoria för Valio och den licenstillverkas i många länder.

Hörnstenen för Valios strategi i hemlandet är maximering av den egna mjölkens värde. Detta uppnås med verkliga innovationer och fokusering på egna varumärken samt med kund- och produktlönsamhet. Konsumentens fördel avgör framgången.

Det ekonomiska resultatet skall vara hållbart och garantera framtiden.

Produktionsanläggningarna skall vara i världsklass för att säkra maximal effektivitet i produktionen.

Fram till år 2020 skall alla produkter under Valios varumärke vara marknadsledare i Finland, Ryssland och Sverige. Avräkningspriset till leverantörerna skall vara på samma nivå som de bästa europeiska mejeriföretagens. Tio procent av omsättningen skall komma från övrig affärsverksamhet. ■

Alvibra’s new patented and revolutionary modular sifter design may change the industry!

FlexScreenTM - the “New Look” - in handling and screening of milk powder and ingredients. Alvibra’s new patented and revolutionary modular sifter design may change the industry!

By Ole Bressendorf, Vice President of Sales, Alvibra A/S

The Nordic Dairy Industry Alvibra A/S is an active and innovative partner for the Nordic dairy industry.

The Nordic dairy industry expanded its milk powder capacity in 2012 not only by expanding existing facilities, but also by building new plants.

Alvibra was an active partner in this expansion and successfully supplied

18

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2013

several milk powder sifters and other kinds of vibratory equipment.

Alvibra’s strategy for the years to come includes the Nordic countries as an important market, however, not only for vibratory sifters and conveyors for milk powder plants, but also for sifters for ingredients, herbs and spices as well as for protein, which has turned out to be of increasing importance also to the Nordic dairy industry.

Designed to serve the dairy industry After manufacturing conventional designed sifters for many years Alvibra

A/S has launched its new line of sifters for the dairy industry. The FlexScreenTM line of vibratory sifters is the most compact, the most quiet and the most energy saving sifter on the marked and all this with no compromise as to quality and efficiency.

The modular design and compact dimensions make it easy to install and to replace old and conventional designed sifters of all brands by an Alvibra FlexScreenTM sifter. The modular design furthermore makes it possible to pre-manufacture several parts and thus cut down on lead time and still leave room for special customer needs.

NR. 8

Alvibra A/S Alvibra A/S, the Danish manufacturer of vibratory sifters, conveyors, feeders and other kind of equipment for the food industry is known for its innovative approach to development and design and the company holds several patents and patent applications.

Environmentally friendly solutions and green technologies combined with high tech designs and a customer focused strategy has made Alvibra A/S an important player in the vibratory equipment industry.

Our line of vibratory machines and equipment supplies not only to the Nordic dairy industry, but to the dairy industry worldwide and we are dedicated to further improving existing technologies and designs to the benefit and profitability of the dairy industry.

New standard within the industry Easy cleaning is another advantage of the FlexScreenTM sifters as the revolutionary and ground breaking new QuickLockTM ball deck is designed to significantly cut down-time when running cleaning procedures. Since flexibility is a key word various CIPsolutions are available.

The mesh itself is what makes the

NR. 8

screening of the milk powder - and all space outside the mesh is basically a “waste” of space. Alvibra’s design engineers reduced the overall size and the weight of the sifter by rethinking what is required to do the screening.

Decades of old fashion designs from most manufacturers in the industry fall short with such modern thinking of “What’s in it for the customer”. The compact dimensions of

the FlexScreenTM sifters set a new standard for the “Size-Performance Ratio”, boost operational efficiency and improve your profitability.

Low-noise and energy saving technology The working environment and energy efficiency based on green technology had high priorities when Alvibra’s design engineers got the tough task of rethinking existing sifter designs and to create the new FlexScreenTM line of sifters.

The patent applied FlexScreenTM sifters of course take advantage of Alvibra’s unique VibraDriveTM vibration-force technology, which not only considerably reduces the noise compared to sifters based on vibration motors, but it also saves 30% to 50 % on the energy costs, which help to reduce your carbon footprint, and the good thing is the larger the sifter the more energy - and money - you save. ■

New Packaging Solutions New packaging solutions for soft cheese, butter and margarine

By Ole Østergaard, Managing Director, Ehrno Flexible A/S

Ehrno Flexible a/s has since 1970 produced flexible packaging primarily for the food industry. The company is known for a high quality and hygiene level and a flexible production set up. During the years, several new packaging solutions have been developed, mostly in a close corporation with our customers.

Today we are producing a number of advanced barrier laminates specialized for the dairy industry.

Product development program Our last invention is a number of new laminates for packaging of soft cheese and yellow fats. The product development phase has been in progress for more than 4 years including an intensive test program.

Cheeseflex Cheeseflex is a laminate based on aluminum combined with a special

polymer. It is designed for applications where either the aluminum or the polymer side is printed. This can be done in high quality flexo up to 8 colors. The laminate can be delivered in a mat or glossy aluminum with gold surface or other effects. It has excellent dead fold properties.

The advantages of Cheeseflex compared with other solutions, is a lower weight pr. m2, reduced thickness and good machinability. The laminate also has an “active” inner-side, which has proven positive properties in relation to maturing of soft cheese.

And last but absolutely not least this new packaging solution is price competitive to known alternatives. So the main benefit of Cheeseflex is reduced cost and better consumer appearance.

Cheeseflex was in 2011 introduced to the market by Arla. After an intensive test program which included consumer tests, sensory tests and technical production tests, products was taken to market. Today a significant part of Arlas soft cheese program is packed in Cheeseflex.

Several cheese producers in Scandinavia and Germany are now using Cheeseflex for packing of their soft cheese.

Butterflex Ehrno Flexible a/s has for many years been a supplier of laminates for the yellow fats industry. Therefore we also know the basic demands of packaging for this industry.

Delaminating is a well know problem when it comes to packaging of butter, margarine and other fats. Butterflex has a high residence to delamination. It can be supplied in reels or as lids, and with or without embossing.

The laminate is like Cheeseflex aluminum based, but includes a paper layer to give it more stiffness. This means, that it combines the demands for optimal machinability and protection of the food product.

Other packaging solutions Despite that Cheeseflex and Butterflex are standalized products; both laminates can be customized so they fit into the individual customers specific needs. This can be done by using special raw materials and processes and combining these in the laminates. So there are several possibilities of defining the right individual application and appearance.

We have the experience of advising our customers to choose the optimal solution. ■

Upgrading Vimmerby Converting one of the world’s largest dairy processing plants to 24-7 working

By Per Simonsen, Senior Project Manager, GEA Process Engineering

GEA Liquid Processing, GEA Process Engineering, GEA Niro Soavi and GEA Westfalia Separator will all be at Nordic Dairy Congress in June to promote GEA’s complete supply to the dairy industry. But it’s not just at exhibitions that the GEA companies come together: it is working together

that creates GEA’s unique service.

The current 24-7 upgrade of the Arla milk powder factory at Vimmerby in Sweden is a perfect example.

Optimization - a joint project The GEA companies also collaborated when the original construction started in 2003. When Arla’s two GEA Niro MSD™ spray dryers came on stream at Vimmerby in 2005 they created one of the largest milk powder factories in the world.

But more recently Arla has required the plants to be upgraded to operate 24-7 to boost capacity and maximize

efficiency, and at the same time to minimize emissions to meet current standards.

By design, the GEA Niro spray dryers can be in continuous operation for several weeks without any stop for cleaning. However, the equipment up-stream the spray dryers require cleaning every 20-21 hours to prevent biological contamination. To prepare the plant for continuous operation, evaporators and the feed system had to be duplicated to allow the plant to continue in full production while cleaning took place. Milk reception and storage facilities also had to be increased to meet demand. When the upgrade is complete it will provide Arla with an additional 3-4 hours production every day, improving capacity by around 12%, and reducing energy losses.

The project has involved the expertise of GEA Liquid Processing in Denmark, GEA Process Engineering in Denmark and France, GEA Niro Soavi in Italy, and also GEA Heat Exchangers and GEA Tuchenhagen both in Germany.

Energy consumption and flexibility The heart of the redesign was the addition of a third evaporator from GEA Process Engineering France.

Benead Faujour, the company’s Dairy Evaporator Sales Manager explained that Arla had a strong focus on both energy consumption and flexibility - two largely incompatible requirements. “To meet the customer’s requirements we chose a 100% MVR GEA Niro Evaporator Calandria at Arla Vimmerby from GEA Process Engineering.

recompression system with a GEA Low Thermophile pre-heating line to ensure the best quality and optimize running time,” he explained. “As well as preparing the feed for the dryer, the high flexibility allows us to produce pre-concentrate to be shipped elsewhere and to receive pre-concentrate for processing.”

NR. 8

Torben Grund Pedersen is from GEA Liquid Processing. His company rebuilt the valve matrices for the feed systems and upgraded the milk reception line with the addition of four extra raw milk silo tanks of 250,000 liters each. He tells that a key benefit of the additional evaporator was the reduction in product losses. “Previously, when an evaporator was shut down for cleaning, the resulting ‘start up - shut down’ powder had to be reconstituted with water and fed through a second time. Now we recover the milk and put it straight back into the feed supply.”

GEA Niro Soavi supplied two additional high pressure pumps/homogenisers (NS5180H). These machines include all the latest developments including full remote control, the patented GFX transmission system, and an automatic over-pressure release valve. “We also supplied retrofit kits to bring the existing two machines up

to the same standard,” explains Alessandra Tanzi from the company.” We have a very active R&D here.”

On-time delivery I, the author, am from GEA Process Engineering in Copenhagen, the main contractor that handled the rebuilding of the air disperser system for the GEA Niro spray dryers to ensure maximum efficiency and enable the 24-7 production. The project is on a very tight time schedule and cooperation between the GEA companies and the Arla site and project management was the key to achieving on-time delivery. Everyone worked extremely well together contributing to smooth product execution. The flexibility, willingness and hard work of everyone involved made sure that we are on time for first milk starting in May and full 24-7 production June 2013. ■

Dairies have growing requirements to follow closely their production in order to optimize processes and to generate greater value. Stepping up the

rate of analysis can mean stepping up the workload significantly in the lab especially if traditional wet chemistry is used that typically is very cumbersome and time consuming. There are NIR solutions available on the market to analyze dairy products for standard components like protein, fat and moisture, but to date one of the limitations of these solutions has been the poor performance for reliable determination of salt and pH.

Following requests from the dairy industry, Q-Interline took on the challenge of developing a solution which would provide rapid analysis of standard components as well as salt and pH on one analyzer. The result of this work is the DairyQuant product line. Within 30 seconds the DairyQuant will provide results on fat, moisture, protein, salt and pH for

They were looking to optimize their production by performing more analysis but at the same time did not want to increase the lab workload. They acquired a DairyQuant from Q-Interline to perform rapid analysis of fat, moisture and salt.

“The DairyQuant has lived up to our expectations on performance and reliability. We now do all our analysis on the DairyQuant and we have

“We had limited experience onsite in calibrating a FT-NIR analyser, but the calibration was performed efficiently and in accordance with our plan. Q-Interline supplied the DairyQuant with starter calibrations and we only needed to include samples of our own products to the calibrations to make them fit optimally to our products.

The DairyQuant is easy to operate

and analysis can be performed by lab personnel as well as production personel” states Katrine Vindelbo.

The exceptional spectral performance of the FT-NIR based DairyQuant is the key to rapid determination of salt and pH. When analyzing salt and pH in the NIR region you are looking at secondary effects from the water bands. To detect these very small signals you need an analyzer with very high spectral performance and stability, which is exactly what you will get with the DairyQuant.

The DairyQuant is equipped with sampling accessories, which are optimized for your specific products. This will assure optimal sample presentation and produce analytical results of high quality. ■

Look North!

It is said, that if you want to be at the forefront among the current food trend setters then look north … to the Nordic Region.

By Crispin Gell, Sales Director, Dairy Fruit A/S

In 2011 the upmarket British retailer Waitrose stated that Scandinavian food is set to be one of the chain’s big concepts for the coming years.

And Waitrose certainly picked a good trend as the Nordic Cuisine in recent years, has been making waves in many upper-end restaurants. The trend has probably been helped when Copenhagen’s Nordic-focused restaurant Noma was voted the world’s best restaurant.

Why is the focus on the Nordic region? Primary reasons are health and nature, and examples are the locally grown fruit and berries rich in vitamins and minerals, and we all love to eat them fresh in sunny summer times. Though, here at Dairy Fruit we like to use the Nordic fruit and ber-

ries in preparations for yogurts, ice creams, and desserts throughout the year.

Nordic developments Greek yogurt is seeing phenomenal growth in the USA, UK and many parts of Europe as consumers seek an indulgent yet healthy yogurt with no fat! Well the Nordic region has its own variety … Skyr!

Various media have recently asked, are there any differences between Greek and Skyr yogurt? Can Skyr be as successful? Importantly, people love the texture and creamy rich mouth-feel these yogurts offer. Skyr yogurt is gaining more and more consumers across the Nordic arena as they find and taste this product and notably finding something a little different; maybe we will see Skyr become as popular as Greek and starting to appear in many other regions.

Old Grains, New Combinations, Low Sugar Grains like barley, oat and rye are now a significant part of the daily diet, as todays grains have been revived with a focus on wholegrain, and further have been adapted to the northern climates. Thus, they are becoming increasingly popular. These old grain varieties have improved The first novel and low-calorie dairy products with stevia have been launched at the Nordic Market.

Dairy Fruit are developing and exploring new NPD ideas utilizing these grains plus the regions unique raw materials such as Blueberries, Lingon-berries, and even herbs. We combine these berries, herbs and other ingredients and offer them to customers, so they can develop healthy low fat dairy products, ready to be consumed at any time of the day!

In addition to low-fat, we have developed and launched products which are healthy & low in sugar -naturally, we are all looking to maintain the healthy Nordic life style!

And, due to the recent Steviol glycoside E960 (commonly referred to as “Stevia”) being EU-approved for use in food, we have seen the first launches of dairy products with stevia. These low-calorie novelties are by now available at retailers in the Dan-

ish, Swedish and Finnish markets.

The sugar-content in the products are reduced by 30% and replaced by stevia to achieve the same level of sweetness, but with lower calories.

Packaging - Not new but …

It’s not new, but it’s gaining new popularity rapidly … Sachets!

Dairy Fruit now offer our preparations in sachets with contents of 25 to 100 gram, delivered without preservatives and with a shelf life of 3 to 4 months chilled. This type of packaging offers new possibilities for our customers, and not least the end-consumers. The taste in sachets can now be placed on top, besides or under a product.

efficiencies that come from global cross-discipline collaboration within SPX.”

WPC 80 processing for up to 30 days The new WPC 80 processing line employs preheating and an Anhydro spray dryer to concentrate the whey protein fraction into WPC 80 in a continuous, high-capacity process.

A specially designed preheating process means the WPC 80 plant can produce 400 kg of finished product an hour on a continuous basis for up to 30 days. The flexible design also enables the production of skim milk powder. The whey and permeate plants are due to come on stream in late 2012/early 2013.

World leaders join forces “The acquisition of Anhydro and Gerstenberg Schroeder by SPX turned out to be an added advantage for TINE,” says Dairy Manager Torbjørn Gjerde. “We now have access to an even wider spectrum of design and engineering competences plus the

Non-caking permeate powder The Anhydro turnkey permeate lines include all interior utilities as well as electrical installation from the main panel. Designed for maximum sustainability and cost savings, the

permeate process features specially designed systems that save energy, water and chemical consumption.

With a capacity of 2,750 kg/h of non-caking permeate powder, the lines are designed for 20 hours of continuous production of permeate as a cost-efficient milk source for processed cheese, as a filler in other dairy products and as an ingredient in low-fat products with high nutritional value. Each plant comprises a 2-stage Anhydro evaporator system together with an integrated heat and hold system, a 2-stage flash cooling system, a lactose crystallization system, a modified conical spray dryer with a crystallization belt and a final fluid bed dryer. Flexibility is also the keyword for the permeate lines in that the design also enables them to be used for production of whey and skim milk powders.

Butter, spreads and liquid margarine The Gerstenberg Schröder margarine section in Jaeren came on line in May, 2012, and features a number of low-pressure Consistator® scraped surface heat exchangers for pasteurization and re-melting of margarine emulsion. A Perfector scraped surface heat exchanger takes care of cooling and crystallization of margarine emulsion. The process line produces margarine spreads with 80 and 40 per cent fat content and has a capacity of 4,000 kg an hour.

Disinfection Now and in the Future With the increased requirements for safe food production and simultaneous focus on the financial challenges - especially water, energy and environmental costs, Novadan’s vision is to be at the forefront of today’s requirements for disinfection from both the food producers and food authorities.

By Torben Jensen, Team Manager, Key Account Manager CIP, Novadan

Sodium hypochlorite has been and still is a very used disinfectant due to the price as well as a wide bacteriological effect. However, sodium hypochlorite does have some disadvantages as regards the degradability in the recipient and aggressiveness towards different types of equipment.

Other types of disinfection methods are alcohol based, quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC), peracetic acid and heating/sterilization -

all with more or less good properties and effects.

QAC are unwanted in many dairies because they can have a negative effect on the acidification process when used incorrectly, and also have a bad environmental profile.

Steam and hot water sterilization are effective if the right temperature is reached but implies large energy costs, and often the costs for repairs and maintenance are increased substantially because the material is effected by frequent heating and subsequent cooling.

ants based on peracetic acid. Peracetic acid is a disinfectant which is effective against bacteria, virus, yeast and mould.

The advantages for the food producers using peracetic acid are obvious: • An environmental green profile as the ingredients are disintegrated to water, oxygen and acetic salts all substances which do not have a negative effect on the environment.

• Peracetic acid is used cold for CIP systems as well as surface disinfection which results in savings time and money-wise.

Horolith LT Better for the natural environment - Formulated for your CIP environment.

By Lars Mikkelsen, Application Manager, Ecolab

Regulations on phosphorus and nitrate discharge are becoming an increasingly greater challenge for dairy, food and beverage plants.

High Lights Horolith LT Horolith LT from Ecolab utilizes a novel, patent-pending blended acid formulation that provides a more economical alternative to other phosphorus-free acid CIP cleaners while also providing a dramatic reduction in nitrates (see table 1). This means you can make a significant reduction in your plant’s total phosphorus and nitrate emissions without significantly increasing your CIP costs.

Additionally, no N residues on surfaces and a lower odor profile than nitric acid helps to increase food and worker safety.

• Patent-pending blended acid formulation • Zero phosphorus in CIP effluent • Reduces nitrates in CIP effluent by as much as 65%–85% • Low-foam wetting agents reduce surface tension for improved soil removal • Higher active acidity leads to improved mineral solubility • More economical than other zerophosphorus, reduced nitrate cleaners • Potential for reduced overall operating costs by reduced temperatures and/or reduced concentrations

34

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2013

• Complete material compatibility information available upon request • Compatible with beer, dairy and food processing

Practical experience Horolith LT was developed in the U.S. and is currently running there in + 150 sites. In the Nordic countries we have been running tests at 2 dairies since October 2012. The test sites are a fresh milk dairy (Horolith LT is used on all applications) and a powder plant (Horolith LT is used in the milk reception).

After 4 months, results are very positive and the test sides will continue with Horolith LT after expiry of the test phase

For both test sides the overall success criteria’s have been met which includes cleanliness, microbial results and economy. As example the overall consumption (tonnage) has been reduced with 40-50 percent. This is providing a logistic improvement but at the same time the total cost of operation has been reduced.

The introduction package of Horolith LT includes a full ecological and toxicological evaluation and information regarding material compatibility.

TINE Meierier implementerer

GRØN TEKNOLOGI fra DSS I 2010 skrev DSS kontrakt med TINE Meierier på levering af to ­næsten identitiske valleproteinprojekter med flere membran­filtrerings­systemer og tilhørende udstyr. Et af systmerne er blevet installeret på TINE’s nye supermejeri i Jæren nær Stavanger. Det nye mejeri blev færdiggjort i starten af 2012.

Af Orla Nissen, salgsdirektør, DSS, og Susanne Greve, projektchef DSS

TINE’s belastning af miljøet kommer primært fra transport, spildevand samt energiforbrug i produktionen.

TINE-gruppens overordnede mål er at reducere udslip af drivhusgasser med 30% inden 2020, i forhold til 2007.

Under hele planlægningen af det nye TINE Jæren supermejeri var ”bæredygtighed” en af grundpillerne i projekteringen, og kriteriet om bæredygtighed blev kommunikeret videre til de forskellige leverandører til projektet.

Grøn tankegang Naturligvis var hygiejnisk design, driftsikkerhed, vedligeholdelse og sikkerhed for operatører altafgørende, og samtidig blev DSS’ medarbejdere opfordret til at tænke grønt og komme med ideer, der kunne passe ind i TINE’s generelle politik om bæredygtighed.

Der kom mange ideer på bordet, og TINE Jærens ledelse fastholdt sit fokus på bæredygtighed - og godkendte ideerne, selv om de fleste betød ekstra investeringer. ROI vil kunne ses over tid i form af løbende besparelser på energi og andre ressourcer samt

36

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2013

på et endnu bedre grønt image for TINE-gruppen.

For DSS passede denne udfordring perfekt ind i vores egne grønne strategi, som ført og fremmest omfatter et internt projekt for at få alle medarbejdere til at øge bevidstheden om at tænke grønt i alle dagligdagens gøremål: f.eks. ”print kun det nødvendige”, ”brug kun elektrisk lys og ventilation i det omfang, det er nødvendigt for et godt arbejdsklima” o.s.v. Det overordnede mål for vores kampagne for en Grøn Profil var at overføre samme tankegang til udviklingen af nye produkter og løsninger, som reducerer forbruget af energi og andre ressourcer.

Klare målsætninger Uden klare målsætninger og planer bliver sådanne initiativer ofte ikke til andet end ord, og DSS’ ledelse satte sig derfor et klart mål, nemlig at reducere vores løsningers miljømæssige belastning med 25%, målt i forhold til gældende industristandard fem år tidligere.

TINE Jæren projektet var en velkommen mulighed for at afprøve både TINE’s strategi om bæredygtig-

hed og vores egen Grøn Profil strategi. Som en del af kontrakten blev alle forbrugstal oplyst som værende Key Performance Indicators, og de blev efterfølgende kontrolleret som værende en del af TINE’s overdragelsestest.

Gode intentioner og fantastiske resultater Da det overordnede scope af vores leverance omfattede UF-, NF- og ROanlæg gav projektet særdeles gode muligheder for implementering af vores ”grønne” løsninger i forskellige områder af valleproceslinjen. I design-fasen var vores fokus at sikre opfyldelse af ovenstående mål.

Som nævnt omfattede nogle af TINE Jærens Key Performance Indicators for projektet energiforbrug, både under produktion og under CIP, og vand, såvel kapacitet som forbrug.

For at minimere energiforbruget blev alle motorer leveret med frekvensomformere, og i designfasen blev alle pumper dimensioneret maksimal virkningsgrad.

Procesparametrene blev optimeret under indkøringen, så alle setpunkter for produktion og CIP blev specifikt

NR. 8

for at minimere strøm- og vandforbrug. Diverse parametre som temperature, tryk og flow blev vurderet for at optimere anlæggets overordnede effektivitet. Faktisk har vi opnået resultater, der er bedre end de mål, der var opsat i kontrakten Nogle af de initiativer, der blev iværksat i løbet af projektet, var et resultat af det øgede fokus på den grønne tankegang, og intet er for småt til at kunne medvirke til et reduceret ressourceforbrug. For eksempel bruger anlægget poleret vand i stedet for vandværksvand til at pumpe akseltætninger.

DSS har altså i høj grad været i stand til at opfylde målene, men vil naturligvis blive ved med at fokusere på områder i filtreringsprocessen, hvor man kan opnå forbedringer, som bidrager positivt til vore kunders fokus på bæredygtighed. ■ DSS’ medarbejdere blev opfordret til at tænke grønt og komme med ideer, der kunne passe ind i TINE’s generelle politik om bæredygtighed.

Safe and reliable water treatment plant for TINE TINE BA, Norway’s largest producer, distributor and exporter of dairy products, is in the process of modernizing the dairy production by installing a new and reliable water treatment plant from EUROWATER in its Oslo plant.

The dairy industry has very high water quality requirements, and strict legal and technical specifications must be fulfilled. The water treatment solution from EUROWATER offers possibilities for supporting and im-

38

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2013

proving product quality and production processes in an economical, safe and environmentally friendly way.

The water treatment plant for TINE consists of a softener and three UV disinfection systems. The raw water is supplied by the local water utility. The plant is designed for a flow up to 150 m³/h. The treated water is to be used partly as ingredient water for dairy production, partly as boiler water and partly in various cleaning (CIP) processes.

The entire plant, including control, wiring and interconnecting pipe system of stainless steel, will be mounted in the workshop in Denmark before shipment. Before dismantling, all connections are tagged and the entire plant is function and pressure tested. This provides optimum safety and minimum on-site installation.

Softened water - reliable supply at low costs Softening prevents calcium deposits in technical installations such as heat exchangers and heating surfaces. The softener for TINE is designed for safe and reliable operation, long life as well as low water and salt consumption. This is possible due to a long list of standard features of the EUROWATER softener type STFA: • T wo-tank unit for continuous water consumption with at least one tank in operation.

• The control enables precise programming of plant capacity according to water hardness.

• Volume-controlled unit which fully utilizes its capacity as the number of regenerations is adapted to the current consumption pattern.

• A nozzle plate ensuring optimum

utilization of salt, ion exchange resin and backwash.

• The filter tanks are of steel and coated with corrosion-resistant epoxy paint. Steel tanks are less susceptible to changes in pressure.

The inside coating is approved for drinking water in Norway.

• Rinse water conductivity measurement.

• Quality monitoring of the residual hardness in the water.

Disinfected water - certified and at low costs In order to ensure a consistently high and specific product quality, the water must be free from microbiological pollutants. The three UV disinfection systems type Wedeco Spektron 650e provide the following advantages: • Environmentally friendly disinfection without the risk of harmful byproduct formation.

• Compliance with established water quality standard ÖNORM ensures safe disinfection.

Stay in Tune with Au2mate Stay in tune with Au2mate dairy applications and customer owned automation framework.

The intensified global competition increases demands for development and fast transition to new products, minimized resource use, highly skilled employees, quality and traceability. Individual product specifications place new demands on production equipment including automation of dairies and minimization of costs.

Greater request for quality documentation By Klaus Dam, Managing Director, Au2mate A/S

Food security required Product breeding is increasing as the boundaries between medicine and dairy products are degrading; thus the requirements for product quality and food safety are increased. Central licensed product specifications, recipes, and reporting on actual production processes become requirements.

Au2mate Academy Au2mate is in the process of setting up Au2mate Academy - a Knowledge Centre for dairy automation. Au2mate Academy will offer training in automation disciplines for management, plant operators as well as technical staff. Au2mate Academy is located in a new building in Silkeborg, DK, and provides modern training facilities including a “hands on” live small scale process plant, designed and built to industrial standard. Au2mate Academy is expected to open Q3 2013.

product. The challenge for automation systems here is to ensure stable and reliable measurements and reporting in a cost-conscious manner.

Automation with open standards Moreover, there must be free choice when selecting the supplier and the possibility to integrate highly specialized process equipment from a wide palette of different vendors into a cohesive system.

The challenge for the automation industry in this regard is to futureproof systems with a high level of documentation, modular design of both hardware and software. In addition, the platforms must be based on open standards that are readily available and where the dairy has free disposal of the source software.

Free choice of provider is precisely what Au2mate values highly; Au2mate supplies software within the leading PLC, Scada and DSC systems and platforms. The free choice allows the customer ownership and freedom to choose other solutions later.

NR. 8

Customer owned automation framework One of the parameters that provide greater opportunity to optimize and improve competitiveness is a customer owned automation framework from Au2mate. The framework is a tool that allows dairies to choose among vendors of process equipment, while maintaining a homogeneous automation system across all process sections. Please see figure 1.

Consistent automation system across all process sections provides optimum opportunity for uniform documentation, reporting, scheduling and fine tuning of the entire process plant at the highest level.

Flexible dairy plants Dairy plants and process equipment have longer lifetime than the automation products. To secure the investment in the capital plant the requirements of the production equipment must be quick and inexpensive transition with minimal downtime. ■

The milk sector is the cornerstone of VM Tarm, and during 2012 our Nordic dairy customer segment has grown steadily. Just in 2012 we have constructed and build approx. 40 large milk tankers, and they are delivered to the Nordic dairies; Arla Foods in Denmark, Sweden and England, Norrmejerier and Skånemejerier in Sweden, MS Iceland, and last but not least TINE in Norway.

Safe and more efficient By Kristian Olsen, CEO, VM Tarm

Great expertise For several decades we have developed and manufactured milk tankers in co-operation with our customers.

This long-time experience has given us a wide knowledge of physical transport conditions, hygiene handling, pump cabin design, controls and tank types. Our milk tank constructions, carriers, trailers and carts

Our relatively new type of side placed man-lids are constructed and built directly into the tank wall, protected by a stainless steel door, and further equipped with a valve for sterile sampling to ensure ultimate quality control. Further, special kip valves are constructed and placed on top of the tank to prevent under-pressure in the milk tanker system.

The side placed man-lids ensures the working conditions of the truck driver, as he no longer has to stand on the narrow tank walkway - not to

mention has to climb the several meters high milk tanker - in all kinds of weather. Besides improved working conditions, the truck driver can even work more efficiently, as all operations are now placed on ground level.

Actually this new feature is a very good example of, how we cooperate with our customers, as the side placed man-lid is developed on request form the Norwegian dairy company TINE and Arla Foods, because they want to avoid accidents amongst truck drivers climbing milk tankers in severe icy and cold weather.

Innovations on demand The innovative solution of the side

Differentiation with Health Benefits is Key to Success New natural bone health opportunity for dairy

By Sarita Bairoliya, Global Marketing Manager, Probiotic Cultures, Chr. Hansen

Consumers all over the world and not least in Scandinavia are looking to manage their health through their diet and lifestyle, and it is essential for dairy companies to continue to offer tasty products with differentiated health benefits. Research shows that not only do products with clear health benefits attract a loyal consumer following; it is also possible to gain a premium price for such products.

Dairy products enjoy a reputation amongst consumers as naturally healthy, and in particular, bone health is often associated with dairy due to the natural presence of calcium in milk, and in many cases, with added vitamin D. This duo of calcium and vitamin D is well known for building and maintaining strong bones.

Vitamin K2 - the missing link in bone health

With nu-trish® Pro-K, it is possible to create tasty dairy concepts to target the attractive segments of mature women and growing kids.

However that’s not the whole story.

Calcium is certainly needed, and the vitamin D ensures that we absorb the critical mineral from the milk. But, we also need to bind the calcium to the bones, and vitamin K2 is responsible for the very important task of incorporating calcium into the bone.

In fact, vitamin K2 is often referred to as the ‘missing link’ in bone health.

Vitamin K2 is found naturally in

foodstuffs such as butter, egg yolks and the traditional Japanese food natto, etc., and as such, is not readily available or fits into the lifestyles of most consumers.

Now dairy producers can create tasty products with a natural solution for bone health - with nu-trish® ProK cultures for fermented dairy products. The nu-trish® Pro-K cultures

44

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2013

contain a new proprietary probiotic strain of L. lactis which supports bone health through a natural high production of Vitamin K2.

Vitamin K with approved EU health claim Vitamin K has been researched in over 70 clinical trials, showing benefits such as reducing bone loss in

NR. 8

women and improving bone markers in children. And what’s more, Vitamin K has an authorized health claim in the EU: “Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones”.* With nu-trish® Pro-K, it is now possible to create tasty dairy concepts to target the attractive segments of mature women and growing kids.

All-in-one solution Two new ‘ready-to-go’ product concepts are available: A delicious dairy drink and a scrumptious light quark to target the segments of active mature women and growing kids. Con-

cept packages consist of consumer insights, concept description, recipes, and production information - everything you need to reduce the time to market for your new launch. nu-trish® Pro-K is combined with fermentation cultures in ‘one pouch’ solutions to create dairy products with great texture, flavor and high content of Vitamin K2. When used at the recommended dosage, the cultures will provide a minimum of 10 micrograms of Vitamin K2 per 100 ml of fermented dairy product - i.e. as little as 150 ml serving provides a good source of Vitamin K.

We believe this new concept has potential to offer functional dairy brands a real point of differentiation while staying entirely true to the natural value proposition which consumers expect from dairy products!

Moreover, we take great pride in bringing added value to the very important topic of bone health!

ALECTIA is full service consultant to the new Mammen Dairy In the coming years the Danish Mammen Dairy will establish a new large plant as an attachment to the original dairy in Mammen. The project is part of a greater effort to strengthen the dairy’s competitiveness and market shares in Denmark. ALECTIA provides full-service consultancy for the project and supplies all architectural and engineering services.

By Rolf Pedersen, Market Manager, ALECTIA

Mammen Dairy has existed since 1911. In recent years the company has grown significantly through acquisitions and increasing sales, and today Mammen is the second-largest dairy in Denmark next to Arla, with

more than 103 million kg milk at its disposal. To help maintain and strengthen this position the dairy is initiating a larger modernization in cooperation with ALECTIA. The brothers Lars and Niels Henning Staunsbæk, owners of Mammen Dairy, have decided to establish a brand new 3,000 m2 production plant worth DKK 120 million near Bjerringbro. ALECTIA has planned the construction which will help futureproof Mammen Dairy, strengthen its competitiveness and increase its market shares in Denmark.

Architectural and engineering work ALECTIA is full-service consultant for the project, and supplies all architectural and engineering services for the new Mammen Dairy. Among other things, ALECITA is responsible for establishing a four-stringed sewer system which will lead rainwater to extra-large harvesting basins and protect the dairy in case of extreme rains.

The original Mammen Dairy was built in 1911, and the current buildings are from 1950. The new dairy

will have a modern look and improved logistics for the benefit of the locals. Today milk tankers park on the road in front of the dairy and create congestion, but with the new plant designed by ALECTIA four new unloading stations are established in direct connection with the dairy.

“We believe that the renewal will cause happiness. When we have large milk tankers parked in front of the dairy, they easily create traffic congestion. In the future they will drive into the site to the four unloading stations where they will not bother passers-by,” Lars Staunsbæk explains.

Energy and environment optimization A combination of factors underlies the building project. The current buildings are worn down; the dairy in Mammen is too small for further expansions of the production; and the scattering of locations after the acquisitions are inconvenient to the distribution and environmental concerns.

About ALECTIA ALECTIA is one of Denmark’s leading consulting and engineering companies. We have years of experience advising the Danish and international dairy and food industry. Our thorough knowledge of these industries ensures that our clients get the necessary future-proof advice, both in the case of large complex plants and minor expansions.

The owners wish for the new dairy to be 100 per cent optimized in relation to energy, environment and working environment. For one thing it is important to the customers; for another such optimizations will ensure Mammen competitiveness on price and quality.

“We want to future-proof the company so that we can stay competitive even in 50 years. That requires investments in a plant which is 100 per cent optimized in relation to energy, environment and working environment. The customers require this,

and it is necessary for our ability to produce a kilo of cheese at the right price,” says Lars Staunsbæk.

The new plant is built on a site directly attached to the current Mammen Dairy where the production continues during the construction works.

According to plans the new building will be ready for machine installation in May 2013. ■

Press Release

Toms Make Huge Profits by

- Pooling Ingredient Purchases Toms Gruppen A/S has achieved significant savings in man-hours and budgets by pooling the purchase of 50 ingredients with one supplier. At the same time the group purchasing function can now focus on strategic sourcing.

Single Sourcing Programme With an annual production now including over 15,000 tonnes of chocolate, Toms are among the largest confectionery manufacturers, and naturally, raw material consumption is enormous. The Purchasing Department experienced an excessive

amount of time spent on peripheral ingredients and have therefore through a so-called Single Sourcing Programme (SSP) - decided to group purchasing and logistical handling of 50 articles that make up a small part of the total volume.

- We are experts in buying the ap-

prox. 100 core commodities, which account for the vast majority of the budget. It includes e.g. cocoa beans, sugar, almonds and nuts. A disproportionate amount of time was spent on negotiations and other contacts with the 10 suppliers who provided us with the remaining 50 ingredients such as condensed milk and various additives. Therefore, we invited a handful of them to bid to take over the whole delivery, explains Andreas Hansen, Group Purchasing and Sourcing Manager at Toms.

Saves time and money According to Andreas Hansen, three of the invited suppliers could offer

NR. 8

all 50 products. After assessing these against each other, the choice fell on Procudan A/S, who specializes in supply-chain management solutions for the Scandinavian food and pharmacy industry. - Our expectation was mainly to save time and thus free resources for tasks of greater economic importance and to save money to leave the purchase of peripheral products to others with more experience and volume. Both have proven successful, he states.

In addition, the purchasing manager emphasizes that it has resulted in time savings in daily operational procurement in the production to have just one supplier instead of ten, and it saves freight costs by getting products sent together from one central warehouse. - Here it suits fine that Procudan is physically represented in Denmark and Sweden, where the main part of our production takes place. Finally, it is important for the quality department that all quality and CSR documentation related to the 50 ingredients are consolidated in Procudan, says the Purchasing Manager.

Competitors as subcontractors Only one thing has not been quite as expected. - We've had some unrealistic expectations of how many ingredients that could be substituted right away. In some cases, it has in practice been too expensive and difficult to get alternatives approved by our

Toms Gruppen Toms Gruppen - with factories in Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Poland - has approx. 1,200 employees. The group, which roots back to 1924, manufactures a wide range of well-known brands, including Toms, Ga-Jol, Anthon Berg, Bon-Bon, Galle & Jessen, Penguin, Feodora and Hachez.

production and quality department, and we have since held on to the original suppliers. Here, however, it worked fine that the former suppliers have become subcontractors in Procudan, so we can do business with only one company, says Andreas Hansen.

In fact, the intensified collaboration with Toms Group has laid the foundation for a new business concept in Procudan. - Adding value to our customers' supply chains has for many years been Procudan's mission. The assignment with Toms showed that there can be significant gains for companies that dare to think out of the box. We therefore launched Procudan Single Point Sourcing, which is about providing

resources and releasing the potential of our customers by leveraging synergies around for example purchasing, logistics and warehousing solutions, product optimization, risk management and, not least, quality assurance. We see great interest in this concept, says Market Director Morten K. Andreasen of Procudan.

He points out that the customer retains overall responsibility for the products and tasks delegated, and the customer overview is ensured through technology and on-going dialogue. - Solutions as the one implemented at Toms proves a huge potential to provide added value without taking business risks. More and more companies discover this, concludes the Market Director.  â–

Unforgettable Yogurt Breaks the Limits DuPont Nutrition & Health makes yogurt processing easier, more reliable and in tune with today’s trends

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2013

Yogurt is as popular as ever in Scandinavia, where the latest Euromonitor forecast points to continuing annual growth in yogurt retail value up to 2017. With no sign of a let-up in demand, manufacturers are dependent on stable processes to help them

keep up with sales and to strengthen consumer loyalty to their brand.

Phage robust YO-MIX™ Yogurt Cultures from the DuPont™ Danisco® range are designed to give that security. Using them, producers can meet Scandinavian consumer

NR. 8

preferences for a slightly more acidic yogurt than that enjoyed in other parts of Europe. At the same time, they can run smooth, efficient processing lines with minimum risk of phage attack.

Uniquely different Compared to other direct vat inoculation (DVI) cultures on the market, the YO-MIX™ range offers a unique point of difference through DuPont proprietary know-how and expertise in reinforcing the phage robustness of Streptococcus thermophilus.

In this way, yogurt manufacturers can benefit from DVI cultures that produce yogurt with the desired taste and texture while being robust against phage attack. This eliminates the need to employ culture rotation in order to keep phages at bay - a system that may compromise the uniformity of yogurt taste and texture.

YO-MIX™ cultures are the first to bring this unique advantage to the market.

tent, is one example of this. An international presence on the dairy market means DuPont is fully equipped with the necessary ingredients and expertise to satisfy this need.

Another growing trend is lactosefree yogurts. Starting in Finland, where the incidence of lactose intolerance is several times higher than elsewhere in Scandinavia, the trend is today accelerating in Sweden and Denmark.

DuPont can assist with a lactase enzyme that effectively reduces or removes the lactose in dairy products without any investment in additional processing equipment. Application support is available to manage yogurt sweetness level, which increases when lactase is applied. Alternatively, manufacturers can take the opportunity to combine lactose removal with a reduction in sugar content - improving the nutritional profile of their brand and cutting costs at the same time.

Shelf life protection Mild and lactose-free While the Scandinavian preference for more acidic yogurt remains in evidence, a tendency towards milder, creamier yogurts with higher viscosity is starting to emerge. The growing popularity of indulgent Greek yogurt, characterized by a high protein con-

In most areas of the Scandinavian dairy market, naturalness is a high priority. The natural origins of cultures, lactase and other ingredients in the DuPont portfolio meet this requirement easily. This means that, in relation to another manufacturer demand - an extended, safe shelf life

- DuPont has no difficulty in providing a value-adding solution. Based on dairy bacteria, HOLDBAC® Protective Cultures provide effective protection against yeast and mould development. Suitability for direct vat inoculation makes them just as easy to use.

For Scandinavian dairy customers in need of support, whether for their new product development or for trouble-shooting processing issues, help is close at hand. The DuPont dairy centre of expertise, manned by a team of experienced specialists, is located in Denmark. Look out for the team’s next inspirational concepts, demonstrating the newest opportunities to make an impression on yogurtloving Scandinavian consumers.

Summary DuPont takes the stress out of yogurt manufacturing with phage-resistant cultures - the perfect basis for yogurt development in line with taste, texture and shelf life trends and the market demand for lactose-free alternatives. ■

Cottage Cheese in a different way For several years Grunwald have been supplying machines for the Nordic market to customers such as TINE, Arla Foods, Norrmejerier, Valio Oy and Unilever. Over the past few years the Scandinavian market has been growing substantially, mainly within the dairy industry.

Amongst the latest innovations, Grunwald has supplied two rotary

NR. 8

machines type ROTARY 12000/3 for filling and closing of so called “Dry Cottage Cheese”. The main difference to the normal mixed Cottage Cheese is that the drained curd is filled first, and afterwards a minimum of dressing/skimmed milk is added on top.

ROTARY 12000/3 is designed as a combined machine with twin filling station in such a way that the same machine can handle both normal mixed cottage cheese and the new dry type.

In addition, the GRUNWALD-ROTARY 12000/3-lane is equipped with the following: • HEPA filtered laminar air cabin • UV-C pulsation light for cup and lid sterilization • Fully servo driven machine with ELAU drives and controllers • Extended cup storage magazine • Special filler for “Dry Cottage Cheese” • Integrated weighing of each cup • Piston filler for normal mixed type

Dry Cottage Cheese.

• Dressing filling in combination with feedback from integrated weighing • Servo-driven filling system in CIP design • Gas flushing • Foil sealing with pre-cut lids • Snap-on lid dispenser • Cup lifting and discharging onto output conveyor One of the numerous special features on this machine is the “Pulsating” UV-C treatment of the cups and lids as well as gas flushing of the cups

before they are closed, in order to reduce the remaining oxygen to give a fresher product.

Furthermore, the ROTARY 12000/3 is using fully servo-driven technology from ELAU, enabling the dairy customer to obtain a 25% higher production speed compared to standard machines with conventional indexing gearboxes. This feature is especially advantageous for this type of machine handling two different products and dosing systems to obtain maximum flexibility and output. ■

Butter and Related Products Børge K. Mortensen: “Butter and Related Products - Product characteristics, production technology and quality aspects”.

Published in 2012 by International Dairy Books, Mælkeritidende, Odense, Denmark (info@dairybooks.dk) (ISBN 978-87-995290-0-1).

By Roger K. Abrahamsen, Professor in Dairy Science and Technology, Norwegian University of Life Sciences

A necessity It is highly appreciated that one of the world’s leading dairy scientists and technologists, Børge K. Mortensen, Denmark, has taken the challenge to write a textbook on butter and related products. With his practical experience in butter production as well as outstanding scientific knowledge about the subject, he is probably the most competent professional to present the interesting story and information about butter.

The book may be considered a necessity for students attending dairy technology courses at various levels of food science and technology education worldwide. Also, practical butter makers and dairy managers will benefit greatly from reading the book.

Eight main chapters Most aspects of butter technology are covered in eight main chapters over 144 pages. A very useful introduction with interesting historical facts and statements is an appetizer for the reader. Also, the second main chapter with its many references to international regulations is very useful.

The various product characteristics are described in Chapter three.

A well-balanced presentation of the most important product characteristics is easy to read in spite of the fact that some aspects, e.g. product microstructure, are scientifically complicated. Cream separation as a crucial step in the production of butter, and heat treatment and temperature treatment of the cream in order

NR. 8

to obtain a required consistency of the butter are treated in Chapter four.

For practical butter makers it is of particular importance to refresh their knowledge about the use of various temperature programs for treatment of cream with different iodine values to optimize the spreadability of the butter at refrigerated temperatures.

Information of how to adjust the temperature treatment of the cream when churning of sweet cream, with the alternative culturing methods often used today, should be of particular interest for practical butter making.

Chapter five may be regarded as the main chapter of this book, covering almost all aspects of butter technology, both traditional and continuous butter manufacture. This chapter presents a very good overview of factors influencing butter-making efficiency. A summary of factors that can influence the moisture content in butter is also very helpful for both students and butter makers.

Chapter six, on packaging, gives a good description of the subject, but contains relatively few scientific considerations. So-called butter-related products are dealt with in chapter seven. Various technologies used for the manufacture of dairy fat spreads, blends and blended spreads are briefly described both for high-fat and low-fat products. Short presentations of specialities as whipped butter, flavoured butter and confectionary butter makes the story almost complete. A surprisingly detailed descrip-

tion of the manufacturing and application of anhydrous milk fat turns out to be very useful reading. Even the product category “Ghee” is treated in an outstanding way.

The last chapter about “Quality aspects” gives an important summary of factors influencing the different quality characteristics of the various products. Sections presenting useful points concerning lipolysis and oxidation in the products should be read with interest.

The book is well written and illustrated with relevant photographs and figures. The author also presents a praiseworthy number of relevant references and a very useful subject index.

Highly appreciated Mortensen has written a very reliable and useful book about butter and related products, which will be highly appreciated by both dairy professionals and dairy students. The book also gives a good platform for knowledge and understanding for those who intend to do research in this field.

Nedgang hos Skånemejerier Skånemejeriers Økonomiske Forening har aflagt det første årsregnskab efter Skånemejeriers fusion med den franske mejerigigant Lactalis. Resultat for 2012 efter finansielle poster blev på minus 10,8 mio. svenske kroner, skriver atl. nu. I en pressemeddelelse skriver foreningens bestyrelse, at nettoomsætningen sidste år blev på 1,3 mia. svenske kroner.

Hele omsætningen beror udelukkende på salg af mælk til aktieselskabet Skånemejerier. Da Skånemejerier AB fortsat var andelsejet i 2011 var nettoomsætningen på 3,2 mia. svenske kroner. Transaktionsomkostningerne vedrørende Lactalis-handlen belaster 2012-resultatet med 8,6 mio. svenske kroner.

Skånemejerier beskæftiger ca. 600 medarbejdere og modtager mælk fra ca. 500 mælkeproducenter i Skåne. (Foto: Skånemejerier).

Økodag den 21. april For femte år i træk inviterer de økologiske mælkeproducenter til åbent hus - Økodag - når malkekøerne skal på græs.

I år sker det søndag den 21. april, hvor græsgangene er åbne 70 steder i landet.

Desværre er køerne lidt ulige fordelt. Langt de fleste køer danser i Jylland, mens de fleste besøgende bor på Sjælland og nær København. Som noget helt nyt arrangerer Økologisk Landsforening imidlertid også Økodag ved Torvehallerne på Israels Plads i København.

Husk nu at køerne slippes løs præcis kl. 12 på øko-gårdene landet over. (Foto: Økologisk Landsforening).

Kort fortalt

Ny overenskomst for 6.000 mejeriansatte Den 23. marts blev der opnået enighed om en ny overenskomst for 6.000 mejeriansatte, skriver fagbladet 3F på sin hjemmeside. Overenskomsten gælder i 11 måneder.

Den nye aftale betyder, at timelønnen for de mejeriansatte stiger med 1,81 kr. pr. 1. april, ligesom de ansatte er sikret fuld løn under sygdom, når de har været ansat i et halvt år (tidl. ni måneder). Parterne er også blevet enige om at afsætte 3,7 mio. kr. til aflønning af kompetencer hos faglærte og ikke faglærte medarbejdere. Desuden kommer det samlede efteruddannelsesbeløb pr. medarbejder op på 1.560 kr. årligt.

Mejerielever og -lærlinge - ikke voksenlærlinge - får løftet alle deres lønsatser med 2,25%. Eleverne får også ret til pensionsindbetalinger, fra de fylder 20 år.

Den nye aftale er indgået af 3F, Danske Mejeristers Fagforening og NNF på den ene side og Mejeribrugets Arbejdsgiverforening på den anden. Den nye overenskomst skal til afstemning blandt medlemmerne, og resultatet heraf forventes den 22. april. (Fotolån: Nørup Mejeri).

33 kr. for mælk i Kina Arlas køb af det tyske MUH-mejeri i Pronsfeld udvikler sig til en rigtig god forretning inden for økologisk UHT-mælk, der eksporteres til Kina, oplyser Claes Henriksson, Arla Sveriges informationschef til atl.nu. De kinesiske forbrugere betaler med glæde 33 kroner for en liter af den økologiske mælk - med henvisning til at, produktet er af høj kvalitet og sikkerhed.

I 2012 solgte Arla for 700 mio. kroner mejerivarer til Kina.

Denne eksport skal femdobles frem mod 2016 i henhold til Arlas nye strategiplan. (Foto: Tetra Pak).

25.000 nye fødevarejob Regeringens vækstteam offentliggør i slutningen af april fem fokusområder, som skal sikre, at den nuværende danske fødevareeksport øges fra 140 mio. kr. til 170-190 mio. kr. årligt. Og vejen mod målet omfatter bl.a. skabelse af op mod 25.000 nye arbejdspladser. Det fortæller Arlas topchef og formand for Vækstteamet, Peder Tuborgh til Berlingske Business. Hvis myndighederne giver fødevarevirksomhederne de rette betingelser og hjælp, så kan den danske eksport øges med op til 50 mia. kr. årligt. Fødevareeksporten kan altså øges drastisk især, hvis indsatsen bliver lagt rigtigt og målrettet lande i Asien, Afrika og Sydamerika. De fem fokusområder er: 1. Fødevareproduktionen skal være bæredygtig og ressourceeffektiv.

2. Myndighedernes regulering og kontrol skal være mere erhvervs- og løsningsorienteret.

3. Fødevareforskningen skal være mere vækstorienteret.

4. Iværksætteriet skal hjælpes og styrkes.

5. Der skal skabes en strategisk eksportindsats med bedre samspil mellem myndighederne og virksomhederne.

Ny prisrekord på mælkebørs For ottende gang i træk steg priserne på Fonterras mejeribørs i begyndelsen af april. Denne gang dramatisk med hele 14,2%, og det bragte gennemsnitsprisen op på næsten 5.000 dollar pr. ton, hvilket er det højeste niveau siden Fonterra startede børsen i sommeren 2008.

Det er primært det new zealandske mejeriselskab Fonterra, der sælger sine produkter på børsen. Arla Foods er en af få større globale mejerivirksomheder, som også afsætter produkter via børsen.

Baggrunden for de stigende priser skal bl.a. findes i den nuværende tørke i New Zealand. (Foto: Colourbox).

Mælk slår soja Det er nu officielt fastslået, at mælkeproteiner overgår planteproteiner, skriver Zenithinternational.com.

FN-organisationen FAO har netop godkendt en ny metode til måling af proteinkvalitet kaldet Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score - eller DIAAS. Efter denne metode scorer kvaliteten af mælkeproteiner omkring 10-30% højere end sojaproteiner, og målingen for fx proteiner i sødmælkspulver ligger på 1,22 - mens tilsvarende tal for fx ærter er 0,64 og for hvede 0,40.

Den nye målemetode er blevet godkendt af IDF og Global Dairy Platform. (Foto: Colourbox).

AC skifter navn Akademikernes Centralorganisation skifter navn til Akademikerne. Navneskiftet understreger organisationens brede politiske sigte. Det nye navn er valgt, fordi udviklingen i den private sektor spiller en stadig større rolle for akademikergruppen. Det private arbejdsmarked beskæftiger en voksende del af den akademiske arbejdsstyrke, og realiseringen af job- og vækstpotentialet i det private erhvervsliv har høj prioritet i ”Akademikerne”.

Organisationsnavnet afspejler fremover uddannelsesbaggrunden hos de medlemmer, som medlemsorganisationerne organiserer i den offentlige og den private sektor. Med navneskiftet følger også et logoskifte, hvori det gamle navn ”AC” stadig indgår.

Omsætningsstigning hos R2 Group R2 Group med domicil i Hedensted har offentliggjort sit årsregnskab for 2012, og det viser en omsætningsstigning på 50 mio. kr. til kr. 696 mio. kroner.

2012 har været præget af virksomhedsopkøb inden for både foderstof- og levnedsmiddelindustrien (bl.a. HN Fusgaard), og derfor har R2 Group pr. 1. januar 2013 valgt at ændre koncernens struktur, så den fremover vil være delt i to selskaber: R2 Agro A/S (special- og nicheprodukter til foderstof- og minkindustrien) og R2 Group A/S, som vil dække området levnedsmiddelindustrien samt de kemiske og farmaceutiske industrier.

Skarø-Is i dialog med fødevareforskere Det er ikke kun de store virksomheder, som kan få udbytte af at samarbejde med universitetsforskere. Det viste et matchmaking-arrangement på AU Foulum den 4. april, hvor 45 virksomheder mødte forskere fra Aarhus Universitet. I arrangementet deltog en række store virksomheder, men hovedparten af deltagerne var fra mindre og mellemstore virksomheder.

En af de mindre deltagere var Is fra Skarø, der producerer økologisk gourmet-is men også specialdesignede isprodukter til fx kræft- og nyrepatienter. Nogle af disse produkter skal gerne have et lavt sukkerindhold, og det er en udfordring.

- Vi bruger bl.a. birkesaft og sukkertang for at minimere sukkerindholdet, men vi vil gerne bruge Stevia for at reducere sukkerindholdet yderligere. Det giver imidlertid nogle smagsmæssige udfordringer. På mødet fandt vi forskere, som vil kunne hjælpe os med at løse disse udfordringer, fortæller konsulent Mette Dannesboe fra virksomheden Is fra Skarø. (Foto: Is fra Skarø).

Græsk yoghurt-krig De engelske myndigheder har forbudt yoghurtproducenten Chobani at anvende navnet ”græsk yoghurt” på koncernens yoghurtprodukter, der nu sælges i UK. Det amerikansk baserede selskab for ”græske yoghurter”, Chobani er utilfreds med afgørelsen, og koncernen mener, at ”græsk” henviser til fremstillingsmetode og ikke til oprindelsesland.

Den græske yoghurtproducent, FAGE er imidlertid yderst tilfreds med afgørelsen. FAGE, med domicil i Athen, har produceret græsk yoghurt gennem mere end 87 år og har eksporteret sine græske yoghurtprodukter under FAGEnavnet til det britiske marked i over 30 år.

Nu er der spekulationer om, hvorvidt det engelske påbud også vil ramme andre yoghurtproducenter. Tidligere i år fik Danone påbud om at fjerne teksten ”græsk yoghurt” på et af sine Danio-produkter. (Foto: Colourbox).

Kort fortalt Dean Foods lukker mejeri

VM Tarm får udviklingsmillioner Mælketanksproducenten VM Tarm har fået bevilliget 2 mio. kr. af Miljøstyrelsen til et udviklingsprojekt, der skal reducere mælketrailerens egenvægt og øge nyttelasten.

En mindre egenvægt giver en større nyttelast, så den samme lastbil kan transportere mere. Med bare 5% højere udnyttet nyttelast vil hver tyvende lastbil blive overflødig, hvilket reducerer brændstofforbruget og den totale miljøbelastning.

Projektet løber over et år, og VM Tarm forventer, at der afslutningsvis kan præsenteres en prototype, som skal godkendes og testes i brug. (Foto: VM Tarm).

FOSS åbner nyt hovedsæde FOSS har investeret 200 millioner kroner i koncernens nye hovedkontor og innovationscenter ved Peder Oxes Allé lidt uden for Hillerød. Det nye domicil blev åbnet den 3. april.

I FOSS’ tidligere bygninger på Slangerupgade i Hillerød vil der fremover kun være produktion og et mindre museum med FOSS’ historie.

Mere babymælk i Kina Den danske godsejer Axel Castenschiold er på vej ind på det lukrative marked for modermælkserstatninger i Kina, skriver dagbladet Børsen. Axel Castenschiold er tilknyttet Danish Showroom ved Shanghais travle lufthavn, og herfra forsøger han nu at finde partnere til at distribuere sin babymælk kaldet Mimille.

IFU (Investeringsfonden for Udviklingslande) har investeret 3,7 mio. kr. i projektet, og målet er, at de første dåser Mimille babymælk kommer ud på de kinesiske butikshylder til efteråret.

Godsejerens mælkeprodukt skal produceres i Danmark af Arla, og foreløbig er der indgået aftale med Arla om produktion af 500 ton mælkepulver om året svarende til mere end en halv million dåser. (Foto: Colourbox).

Den amerikanske mejerigigant Dean Foods lukker sit Oak Farms mejeri i Shreveport, Louisiana senere i år, skriver dairyreporter.com. På Shreveport-anlægget fremstilles bl.a. konsummælk, mælkedrikke, hytteost og syrnede syrnede produkter under brandet Oak Farms. Produktionen flyttes til andre af Dean Foods anlæg.

Lukningen, der begrundes med vanskelige markedsvilkår og behovet for rationalisering, indebærer afskedigelse af omkring 150 medarbejdere. (Foto: Colourbox).

DMK udvider iscremeaktiviteter DMK, der er Tysklands største mejeriselskab, har nu fået grønt lys fra konkurrencemyndighederne til at kunne overtage iscremeproducenten, Roseneis, skriver Dairyreporter. com. Det tyske marked for private label iscreme er yderst konkurrencepræget mellem de fire største aktører, som udover DMK og Roseneis er R&R Ice Cream Deutschland og Eisbar Eis GmbH. Roseneis har iscremeproduktion på fire anlæg i Tyskland, og udover salg til hjemmemarked eksporterer virksomheden til 22 europæiske markeder samt til bl.a. USA, Australien, New Zealand og Thailand.

Mere frisk mælk Andelen af de billigere private-label mælkeprodukter er steget voldsomt gennem de senere år fra 10% til nu ca. 50% af det samlede mælkemarked. Det ønsker bl.a. Arla Foods at gøre noget ved: - Det er en udfordring, som vi tager meget alvorligt. Og efter grundige analyser af markedet fandt vi ud af, at der er tre faktorer, der kan flytte markedsandele på det danske marked for mælk. Det er pris, friskhed og økologi, udtaler Arlas danske marketingdirektør, Jakob Knudsen til Markedsføring.dk.

Derfor starter Arla nu en storstilet markedsføringskampagne, som skal oplyse forbrugerne om, at når de betaler mere for en Lærkevang eller Harmonie, så får de bl.a. friskhed. (Foto: Arla Foods).
