Proliant Dairy and Meat Ingredients

Proliant Dairy and Meat Ingredients, part of The Lauridsen Group (LGI), are global leaders in the production of high-quality protein and dairy-derived ingredients for the food, beverage, and nutrition industries. Proliant Dairy Ingredients specializes in the manufacture of whey permeate, marketed under the brand VersiLac®, which provides cost-effective and highly soluble dairy solids for a wide range of food and feed applications. Proliant Meat Ingredients, which merged with other LGI entities in 2015 to form Essentia Protein Solutions, focuses on natural stocks, broths, and functional proteins derived from beef, pork, and poultry. The companies leverage advanced spray-drying and fractionation technologies and are supported by the Lauridsen Advancement Building (LAB), a state-of-the-art R&D and pilot plant facility. While primarily focused on food-grade ingredients, the group maintains a strong presence in the health and nutrition sectors through clinical research and functional protein development.
