    Milk Specialties Global changes name to Actus Nutrition

    October 28, 2024

    Milk Specialties Global announced a corporate rebranding that will transition its name to Actus Nutrition.

    This strategic evolution aligns the company’s name and marketing efforts with the opportunities ahead for Actus Nutrition and its global customer base in the health, well-being and nutritional ingredients sectors. As a result of growing market demand and expanded operations, the company generates approximately $1.5 billion in revenues per year with a double-digit compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past five years.

    “The name Actus Nutrition perfectly reflects our company’s identity and the promising market opportunities ahead,” said David Lenzmeier, CEO of Actus Nutrition. “With powerful tailwinds and long-term trends accelerating the growth of our core target markets, Actus Nutrition is poised for tremendous future success. Since inception, we have always been committed to creating a more responsible nutrition ingredients supply chain, and we look forward to supporting our customers and suppliers as we continue to revolutionize how the world uses whey proteins and other essential nutrition ingredients.”

     Actus Nutrition’s long and successful track record of producing nutritional ingredients for food and performance products spans nearly 80 years. The company’s human nutrition business and expansion into private-label products enable it to effectively cater to a broad spectrum of consumer demand for health and nutrition products. 

    The core of the Company’s business is in high protein ingredients such as whey proteins, milk proteins, casein and caseinates as well as other value add ingredients. “Actus Nutrition is the ‘brand behind the brands’ to many of the world’s leading providers of protein and nutritional supplements,” said Aaron Kirkbride, managing director of Butterfly Equity, an investor in Actus Nutrition. “We are thrilled for the company to launch this new name and branding initiative that we believe more accurately reflects the immense opportunity in front of the business as a leader in the global nutrition space.”
