Volac Foods is a UK-based family-owned company specializing in dairy nutrition products and animal feed. Since it's founding, Volac has become a leading provider of innovative animal nutrition solutions, whey-based ingredients, and nutraceutical products.
History
Volac was founded in 1970 by Dick Lawes, an entrepreneur in the dairy industry, and Philip Paxman, a veterinary student. The company initially focused on providing dairy nutrition products. Over the years, Volac expanded its scope to include animal nutrition, whey nutrition, and nutraceuticals, becoming a key player in the dairy industry.
In April 2024, Volac's Whey Nutrition business was acquired by Arla Foods, marking a significant shift in Volac's business operations. The acquisition is expected to enhance the joint capabilities of both companies in the global whey nutrition market.[1][2][3]
