🧀 Our cottage cheese journey is heading Down Under 🌏 We are strengthening our presence in Australia with the acquisition of Brancourts, a respected local producer of cottage cheese. The acquisition, which will happen through our joint venture Arla Foods Mayer Australia, marks an important next phase in our Australian adventure. Together with our JV partner Mayers Fine Food, we are investing to meet growing consumer interest, driven by changing preferences around health, protein, and everyday cooking. In Australia, we have built strong branded positions with Lurpak and Castello holding leading positions in butter and cheese, respectively. The acquisition marks a natural next step in strengthening our footprint in the market. Combining our European cottage cheese expertise with our strong local executional powers of the JV, we’re entering the fast-growing category with significant ambitions for innovation, capacity expansion and investments in quality.

What does it really take to open a new drying tower? 🏗️ Two years of planning. A $62 million bet. And then you have a drying tower that's now up and running in Porteña, Argentina for AFI. This isn't the kind of project you announce with a press release and move on. More than 100 people across South America put real work into making it happen, engineers, operators, project managers, people who showed up every day to build something that didn't exist before. The result: a 50% increase in permeate production capacity at the plant, with the potential to add up to 30,000 MT per year. That's meaningful headroom for customers who need reliable volume and the flexibility to grow with us. For AFI South America, this is the kind of infrastructure that makes future conversations possible, about new products, new markets, new partnerships. Understandably, this is a very proud team. And they are ready for what comes next 👏
Development Camp at Arla Our graduates recently went on a Development Camp in Leeds to learn about the market, meet great colleagues, strengthen their competencies and just as importantly, spend quality time together 🤲 Victoria Rasmussen was definitely on home turf, as she is currently doing an 8-month rotation in Leeds before moving on to another market for her final rotation 🇬🇧 The camp benefits both the graduates, our colleagues in Leeds, and the collaboration across the business. What’s not to like?
Afterwork Padel: Voller Einsatz, tolle Stimmung und viele neue Begegnungen! 🎾 Bereits zum zweiten Mal haben unsere Arla Mitarbeiter:innen in gemischten Teams auf dem Padel Court gegenüber unseres Düsseldorfer Büros gespielt, geschwitzt und gelacht. Im Mittelpunkt stand neben der Bewegung vor allem, sich abteilungsübergreifend besser kennenzulernen. Ob erster Kontakt mit Schläger und Glaswand oder bereits Match-Erfahrung: Die Stimmung auf dem Court war super! Danke an alle, die dabei waren – und an unser freiwilliges Ambassador-Team für die perfekte Organisation ❤️.
Ultra‑processed foods (UPFs) are everywhere in today’s food debate, and so are the questions. 🥗🧃 Yesterday, we hosted a conference at our HQ on “Navigating the complexities of Ultra‑Processed Foods”, together with the Danish Endocrine & Endocrine Academy, bringing scientists and key stakeholders together to deepen the conversation. Our starting point is simple: the current UPF label is very broad - and that can make food choices more confusing than helpful. For us, it’s not just about how much processing a food has gone through. What matters is the overall nutritional quality and how food fits into a balanced diet. Very different foods can end up in the same UPF category today, and that doesn’t always reflect their nutritional value. That’s why we support a more precise, science‑based way of talking about UPFs - one that gives people clarity they can actually use. Let’s keep the conversation grounded in evidence. 👇 When you choose food, what information helps you most? Ingredients, nutrition per serving, added sugar/salt - or something else. Let us know in the comments.
