about Us

It all begins with milk

The story of FrieslandCampina and our relationship with milk began in 1871. This was the year farmers decided to join forces in local cooperative dairy factories. By doing so, they could strengthen their market position and ensure sales of their milk. Today FrieslandCampina, headquartered in Amersfoort, Netherlands, is one of the world’s largest dairy companies. Every day, we provide millions of consumers all over the world with valuable nutrition from milk. Not only in the form of milk itself, but with all kinds of dairy products we make from milk.

our Heritage

The FrieslandCampina cooperative was established in 1871. Farmers started to realize that they would be stronger if they stood together. Today, nearly 150 years later, the cooperative has 17,413 member dairy farmers who do everything they can for their cows, their land and the good nutrition that we produce for the world on a daily basis.

What began with that first cheese factory and two cheese vats in 1872 has now grown into one of the most modern dairy industries in the world. Even so, the interests of our member dairy farmers still come first in the cooperative. The company’s profits are still paid out to the owners of the company: our member dairy farmers.

our Farmers

Passion, love and professional expertise

Our member dairy farmers dedicate themselves to their cows and their land every day. And to good nutrition for the world. Thanks to their professional expertise and their perseverance, we can supply healthy and high quality dairy products to the market.

Farmers play a major role in everything we do, just like back in 1871. The company is wholly owned by Zuivelcoöperatie FrieslandCampina U.A., with 17,413 member dairy farmers in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. This means that, via the cooperative, our member dairy farmers are the joint owners and supervisors of the company. If FrieslandCampina performs well, this also benefits our member dairy farmers who in fact are independent entrepreneurs. That is why they always work hard to supply milk of best quality.
