Profile / Business

 

Milkfood Limited was set up in the year 1973 with the first Plant at Bahadurgarh , on the Rajpura Patiala Road in the State of Punjab . The company manufactures Pure Ghee, Skimmed Milk Powder , Whole Milk Powder, and Dairy Whitener . From the intial installed capacity of 80 MT of milk processing per day at Patiala during 1974 the Company at has enhanced the processing capacity from time to time and the present milk processing capacity of all Plants is 1500 MT per day.

 

In the year 1987 the Company commissioned its Second Plant at Gurgoan in the State of Haryana for the manufacture of Cultured Desserts like Long Life Yoghurts, UHT Milk , Juices etc. and Frozen Desserts Yoghurts like Ice Creams. The Ice Cream brand "Milkfood 100% Ice cream" still conjurs up memories even years after it's sale to Hindustan Lever.

 

The company has taken on lease a Dairy Plant in 2003 at Hamira, Distt. Kapurthala, in the State of Punjab to supplement the production capacities by 200 MT of milk processing per day. The capacity has since been enhanced to 500 MT of Milk Processing per day.

 

In 2005, the company has taken expansion plans further to the State of Uttar Pradesh where a fully modernised facility has been set up at Village Agwanpur, Tehsil Moradabad to add capacity of 500 MT of milk processing per day. The plant has commenced production in November 2005.

 

Further Expansion plans for manufacture of Export Oriented and Value added products like Casein , Demineralised Whey Powder , Whey Protien Concentrates has been initiated at the Bahadurgarh facility , which is likely to be commissioned by end of 2006. Capacity expansion will enable the Bahadurgarh plant to process 700 MT of milk per day.

'Premium Quality and Good Taste ' are the driving factors for the company's products for three decades. Continuous modernisation have enabled enhancement of product quality over the years.

 

Future

 

At the International Dairy Federation (IDF) seminar on "Utilization of Dairy Ingredients in Foods" held at Luxemburg in 1981, Dr. Ernest Mann, Consultant, IDF, stated that milk has four faces. First two faces are represented by liquid milk on one hand and traditional dairy products viz. Milk Powder, Cheese and other traditional cottage dairy products on the other hand. The third phase of milk is represented by new dairy products tailored to suit the changing social and dietary habits of the people who have encouraged the dairy industries of many countries to take a re-look at the new range of products manufactured and aided by the new technological processes such as fat fractionate, protein fractionation, electrodialysis, membrane separation etc. This has helped to further the concept of milk as an industrial liquid whose ingredients could be extracted and recombined in different ways to form new processed food products.

 

The present expansion by Dairies shall cover the third face of milk viz. fractionation and extraction of milk ingredient leading to manufacture of various value added products which is a new and just introduced milk phase in India and has a long way to go in the time to came i.e. extraction of its ingredients viz. Casein, Whey proteins, Lactose, Minerals and Dimineralised Whey powder.

 

The fourth face of milk is a generator of thousands of ingredients with specified nutritional and functional property for different branches of food industry which is revealing milk to be a treasure chest of more than 2000 ingredients. This phase of milk is yet to be come up.

 

India continues to be the largest milk producer of the world , with competitive advantage of low cost milk production. With the reduction of Farm subsidies worldwide and advent of world class technologies in India the country is poised to become the largest exporter of Milk products in the years to come.
