"Integrated Dairy Ingredients is a direct link to the hardworking farm families who produce the milk for our ingredients," said Amie Gabriel, CEO. "This close connection ensures unparalleled quality and transparency in our supply chain

Initially, IDI's product lineup will include nonfat dry milk, skim milk powder, and buttermilk powder. All products will be rbST-free, OU Kosher, and Halal certified, catering to a wide range of customer needs.

Through collaboration with its cooperative members, bulk raw milk, condensed milk, cream, and butter can also be sourced by customers. What sets IDI apart is its strategic location and footprint, the company said. With farms, manufacturing facilities, and distribution warehouses established along the Eastern seaboard, the company is uniquely positioned to serve both local markets and global export demands efficiently.

 "Our East Coast network allows us to minimize transportation costs and reduce the carbon footprint of the powder delivered to customers," Gabriel added. "This means fresher ingredients for our customers and a more sustainable supply chain overall."
