Hoogwegt

Hoogwegt is a privately held global dairy ingredients company founded in the Netherlands in 1965. The company describes itself as the world's largest privately owned dairy ingredient provider and operates across more than 130 countries. Its business focuses on sourcing, trading, distributing, and supplying dairy products and ingredients including milk powders, whey products, lactose, butter fats, cheeses, liquid dairy, and dairy proteins for the food and feed industries. In addition to product supply, Hoogwegt offers logistics, market intelligence, quality assurance, product development, and dairy risk-management services. While it participates in food and nutrition markets and has some pharma-grade lactose offerings, it is not primarily a life science, biotech, pharma, or healthcare company.
