Thanks for 2010

A seasonal message from the CEO

2010 has been an exciting year for Arla Foods Ingredients. Today, as we look ahead to 2011, we find ourselves on the brink of becoming an independent company, 100% owned by Arla Foods.

The decision to separate from our parent company is based on our challenging growth strategy. As a subsidiary, we will gain broader opportunities to finance our growth ambitions. Through this, we hope to make our expertise even more widely available to customers and optimise our ability to respond to individual needs.

Overall objective
Our overall objective remains unchanged: to become the leading global player in value-added milk proteins.

To achieve this, we will continue to focus on investment in R&D and innovation and further expansion of our application know-how within our core market segments: Functional Milk Proteins, Nutrition and Bakery.

Our new Application Centre will also play a pivotal role; and we are confident that our unique way of working with customers – the Twintell® Application Programme – will continue to bring good results.

Securing supplies
Building our raw material supplies continues to be a major challenge. We are confident that a series of ongoing projects will make a significant contribution in 2011 and the years to come.

As the end of 2010 approaches, we would like to thank you for your business and the trust you have shown our company. We will work hard to earn it again in 2011.

Wishing you a festive holiday season and a happy new year

On behalf of the Arla Foods Ingredients Management Team
