Ingredients

Our raw material is milk - and its plant-based alternatives. We concentrate it. We extract and increase its power. We transform it into the perfect ingredient.

We offer our customers from the food industry products from the milk, whey and non-dairy sectors. Together we develop the perfect solution for every application. In doing so, we always keep an eye on the market: By observing trends and developments well in advance, we actively shape the markets and bring milk into the future.

On pizza, in sweets or in salad dressing: Most products in the food industry contain milk or milk components. These ingredients are our expertise. As an integral part of the whole team, our DMK farmers produce the raw material. At DMK Ingredients, we use it to produce condensed milk, fresh dairy products such as cream, sour cream, cream cheese and butter, milk powder and a wide variety of cheeses.

We are also an experienced partner in the development and implementation of projects in the confectionery, pizza and dairy processing sectors. Together with our customers, we develop trend products and advise on processes, specifications and packaging.

From whey, the by-product of cheese production, we at wheyco produce customised whey derivatives, whey proteins, lactose and permeates. There are valuable in the food industry for many reasons. On the one hand, their high-quality protein plays an important nutritional role where people have a special dietary need - for example, in infants, senior citizens, athletes or in medicine. On the other hand, whey permeate is used in baked goods and confectionery, chocolate, ice cream and convenience products. Not only does it provide aroma, flavour, texture, crunch, creaminess, juiciness and/or better browning, but it also ensures that the ingredient list remains free of unwanted, artificial ingredients.

Vegan alternatives for every day: With our full range of fat emulsions, we supply ingredients for numerous applications, such as baked goods, coffee and tea drinks, desserts, soups and sauces. The majority of our products are vegan and allergen-free. In addition to taste and functionality, we focus on sustainable raw material sourcing and environmental protection. For example, instead of palm oil, we use sustainable shea oil from a cooperation with the Shea Alliance.

That is our declared goal. We do not achieve this goal with our products alone. Our values are what make us successful: a deep understanding of customers and consumers and partnership relationships with our customers, optimal processes for maximum value creation, a forward-looking approach to the market. And last but not least: the concentrated know-how and motivation of our entire team.

We source our raw materials from DMK-affiliated German and Dutch farmers and from sustainable sources of plant-based milk alternatives. The resulting products and solutions are in demand all over the world. Here's a look at our focus regions.

Our Business Intelligence team observes the market from an all-round° perspective. New and further product developments are always based on insights from our market and competition analyses.
