Agropur Ingredients

Agropur Ingredients is the ingredients business of Agropur, a large Canadian dairy cooperative founded in 1938. The business supplies functional dairy ingredients, whey proteins, milk proteins, and specialty blended ingredients to food, beverage, and nutrition customers, including infant nutrition, medical nutrition, and sports nutrition markets. It also offers custom processing and turn-key contract manufacturing services rather than developing therapeutics or a clinical drug pipeline. Agropur is one of North America’s largest whey protein manufacturers and serves customers internationally through manufacturing and commercial operations in North America and other global markets. For biotech and pharma classification purposes, this is best characterized as a commercial nutrition and food-ingredient supplier with some overlap into health and nutrition applications, not a life sciences drug developer.
