Select Milk Producers

Select Milk Producers is a leading American dairy cooperative founded in 1994 by a group of dairy farmers dedicated to innovation and high standards of animal welfare. The company is best known for developing a patented ultra-filtration process that separates milk into its primary components—water, vitamins, minerals, lactose, protein, and fat—allowing for the creation of nutrient-dense dairy products. This technology was the cornerstone of the Fairlife brand, a successful joint venture with The Coca-Cola Company that revolutionized the premium milk category. Beyond consumer products, the cooperative operates large-scale processing facilities and produces a wide range of dairy ingredients for global food and nutrition markets. Headquartered in New Mexico, Select Milk Producers continues to focus on sustainable farming practices and technological advancements in milk fractionation.
