Products
Our offerings are characterized by an extensive product range, many years of experience, and the highest standards.
Our Business Segments
Our core expertise lies in producing high-quality whey derivatives, primarily lactose and WPC80, which are used globally in baby food and sports nutrition.
Additionally, we offer a wide range of other powdered ingredients used in various food industry applications.
Whether as a basic ingredient or a refined specialty solution, our products stand for quality, safety, and superior functionality, developed for the individual requirements of our industrial customers.
Our strength is diversity: A second important business segment includes selected cheese varieties such as hard and semi-hard cheeses, as well as mozzarella. These are sold under the Paladin brand or as private label products, primarily in European food retail, or specifically used for particular applications in the food sector.
Production takes place at modernly equipped sites, certified according to internationally recognized standards such as FSSC 22.000 for our ingredients plants in Jessen, Zapfendorf, Peiting, and Winzer. Our cheese dairies in Jessen and Windsbach meet the highest product safety requirements with the IFS (International Featured Standard).

We strive daily to give our best for our customers. That is why we are grateful for the open and constructive exchange. Through their adaptation and customization requests for our products, we continuously learn and develop.

To live this form of collaboration with our customers, we rely on the principle of lifelong learning with our employees. It is important to us to challenge and promote our employees: in their development, motivation, as well as in their commitment and thirst for knowledge.
Best Raw Materials
Strong Partnerships: Our Producers and Suppliers
Reliable raw materials and trust-based partnerships with our producers and suppliers form the foundation for the high quality of our products.
Reliable Dairy Partnerships
We are supplied with milk by around 250 dairy farms – primarily located in Saxony-Anhalt, Baden-Württemberg, Brandenburg, Saxony, and Bavaria. The spectrum ranges from traditional family farms to large agricultural enterprises, and from conventional operations to certified organic farms.
The milk producers operate in accordance with the recognized VLOG standard “Ohne Gentechnik” (Non-GMO) and strictly refrain from the use of genetically modified feed.
Targeted Valorization of Liquid Whey
In addition to fresh milk, we work closely with selected dairies and cheese manufacturers. In line with a holistic raw material utilization approach, we process their high-quality milk and whey raw materials at our sites into ingredients, compounds, and customized specialty products.
