Uelzena eG is a dairy cooperative located in Northern Germany. All the milkbased ingredients of the Uelzena Group are marketed by the site-wide Uelzena Ingredients division, which focuses on the product groups of milk powder, butter, anhydrous milk fat, cheese and other milk products such as sweetened condensed milk and cream.
The Uelzena Group has three production sites in Uelzen, Bismark and Warmsen, as well as a joint venture in Neumünster. The milkbased ingredient range is sold jointly by Uelzena eG and WS Warmsener Spezialitäten GmbH.
“We have closely cooperated with many of our customers for decades. That makes us very proud. Their high standards and a trustful exchange of information support our constant improvement.” describes Bernd Gewecke, managing director sales ingredients, Uelzena’s relation to their customers.
All ingredients are produced directly from fresh milk or cream – free from any food additives and are naturally clean label products. Uelzena sources the majority of their raw material milk from own contract milk producers in northern Germany.
This means short transport routes and guarantees both the availability and highest quality of the raw ingredient. It also means Uelzena knows exactly where their milk comes from. Best conditions for the production of high quality milk ingredients.
Milkfats
Uelzena produces various milk fats like lactic and sweet cream Butter as well as concentrated butter (AMF) at two production sites in Northern Germany.
The product range is completed by a variety of speciality milk fat products such as laminating butter with a predefined melting point for making puff pastries, milk fats with added vanillin or carotene, fat blends or decolourised white butterfat. Even tailormade milk fat compounds can be developed.
Skimmed milk powder
Uelzena delivers several types of low heat and medium heat skimmed milk powder. The powders are of high-quality and optimised for solubility, particle size, dust production, denaturation and mixing behavior. Different protein and water contents are available, and it is also certified as kosher and halal. A sweet buttermilk powder completes the milk powder range.
Sweetened condensed milk and cream
WS Warmsener Spezialitäten GmbH, a member of the Uelzena Group, is one of the largest manufacturers of sweetened condensed milk, cream and special milk based compounds as an ingredient for the food industry.
Their great strength is the very wide range of different recipes and the variety of packaging options suitable for industrial use. This includes products according to halal, kosher and Fairtrade certification as well as blends of sweetened condensed milk with vegetable oils.
All sweet condensed milk products have a nice smooth texture, a clean taste without any ‘cooked’ flavour, and are technologically resilient to further processing.
Thanks to these specialised, often tailor-made products, the company has achieved an excellent reputation in the sector and has established its status as a supplier for speciality milk ingredients.
“We are proud of the confidence our customers place in us and our ingredients. They view us as a reliable partner to support them in implementing their product ideas.” comments Johannes Rother, managing director sales and marketing
