DMK Group has commissioned a new production facility for the manufacture of lactoferrin at its Altentreptow site in Germany. With this investment of €25m, Germany’s largest dairy cooperative is entering a new, strategically important business sector whilst further expanding its industrial expertise at the Altentreptow site.
The investment is rounded off by structural extensions at the Altentreptow site (photo: DMK). These include a new building with a floor area of around 655 square metres, which will house the new production facilities. In addition, a separate building for chromatographic applications with a floor area of around 130 square metres has been constructed.

Commissioning of the plant began in December 2025. The planned market launch of the lactoferrin powder produced is scheduled for autumn 2026.
