Raw materials & Production

Origin determines the future

For MEGGLE, milk and whey are much more than just raw materials. They are the basis for our daily activities. We can only produce top quality products which satisfy our customers and secure our long-term success if we use milk and whey of the highest quality. This is why we choose our suppliers very carefully and only purchase milk and whey from controlled farming operations.

In our production also oils from vegetable origin are used. As a member of the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palmoil), we actively participate in the development and promotion of sustainably grown palm oil.

Innovative manufacturing technologies, state-of-the-art production facilities and stable processes enable us to produce products of superior quality and functionality. In addition to spray drying, blending, extrusion, crystallization also ultrafiltration is one of our strengths.

Last but not least, we benefit from contacts and co-operation with industrial partners, whose product range, expertise or technological capabilities contribute meaningfully to our activities.

Currently, the following amounts of raw materials are processed into high-quality products at our plant in Wasserburg am Inn:
