Milk Specialties Global doubles lactose production at its Visalia, Calif., facility
Increased lactose demand is being fueled by overseas markets.
Milk Specialties Global, an Eden Prairie, Minn.-based whey protein isolate producer, said it doubled its lactose production following the expansion of its West Coast processing facility in Visalia, Calif. The additional lactose production capacity, which came online in late 2020, is to meet increased demand for high-quality dairy ingredients in Asia and other overseas markets.
“It all comes back to the customers,” said CEO David Lenzmeier. “We always strive to make the best products on the market and deliver better value to our customers. The project we just completed at our Visalia facility furthers our ability to deliver a high-quality product at a good value.”
