Arla Foods Ingredients and wheyco, DMK Group’s whey business, are to exhibit together at a trade event for the first time since the merger of their parent companies at Fi Europe.

The DMK Group and Arla Foods Ingredients stands will be located opposite one another, both carrying a message of ‘Growing Stronger Together’, with DMK’s subsidiary wheyco represented on the Arla Foods Ingredients stand.

Anne Widart, Vice President, Commercial, at Arla Foods Ingredients said: “One of the many benefits of the merger between Arla Foods and DMK Group has been the creation of an ingredients powerhouse. It has unlocked new synergies and opportunities, allowing us to build something even better for the future. Fi Europe is the perfect platform to demonstrate our shared ambitions in the most tangible way possible, and we’re excited to have the opportunity to show the industry first-hand how we’re working together.”

Earlier this year, Arla Foods Ingredients debuted its ‘Targeted GLP-1 Companion Nutrition’ concept, which demonstrates how nutrient-dense products can help meet the needs of GLP-1 users. At Fi Europe it will showcase new applications for the concept, including a spoonable yogurt and a drinking yogurt, alongside a fermented, high-protein shot and a high-protein water-based shot.

Meanwhile, the ‘Unlock Permeate’ concept will demonstrate how Arla Foods Ingredients’ Variolac® can help improve cost-effectiveness and sensory properties across the dairy, bakery and confectionery categories. Made using a nanofiltration process, the benefits of the whey permeate ingredient include mild milky taste, high cost efficiency, and high content of calcium, magnesium and potassium.

DMK Industry will showcase how its fat-filled ingredients, TOPPICS, FATTICS and BATTICS, and Sweetened Condensed Milk portfolios can bring texture, stability and sensory appeal to indulgent applications.
