For more than 70 years, the Uelzena Group has produced a large variety of different products for the global food industry — tailor-made, innovative and of high quality. It all started with milk from the region, Northern Germany and this is where the milk still comes from today.
In 1952, the Uelzena eG was founded in Uelzen, a city lying between Hamburg and Hannover in the Lueneburg Heath in Lower Saxony. As they were a cooperative of dairy farms and dairies, they initially predominantly produced stable milk powder from the excess milk of member companies.
Today, Uelzena is also producing butter, butterfat, cheese, sweetened evaporated milk as well as other ingredients and products with a milk base. Added to that they produce dry non-milk ingredients and they act as a service provider for the food processing industry. They custom-dry susceptible food products including flavorings, natural food colors and vitamins and we develop customized products for well-known brands.
