Vinamilk recognised at Asian Technology Excellence Awards 2025

VIETNAM – Vinamilk, a dairy company, has been honoured with the Vietnam Technology Excellence Award for Digital – Food Manufacturing at the Asian Technology Excellence Awards 2025, recognising its breakthrough in digital dairy innovation.

The award highlights Vinamilk’s dual innovation initiative that enhances both product quality and supply chain assurance.

By integrating ultrafiltration processing technology with precision-based milk quality testing, Vinamilk became the first in Southeast Asia to optimise both production and upstream sourcing digitally.

The first initiative involved the successful commercialisation of ultrafiltration technology, a method previously adopted by global dairy leaders but not scaled regionally.

In 2024, Vinamilk launched HiPRO, a high-protein milk product delivering 12.5g of natural protein per 240ml serving. Unlike conventional fortified dairy, HiPRO is made entirely from fresh milk without added protein, aligning with global demand for natural, clean-label nutrition.

Complementing this, Vinamilk introduced a smart diagnostic system developed in collaboration with an agri-tech startup.

The system performs targeted quality checks throughout the supply chain, from farm collection to factory intake, resolving issues at specific points to improve overall efficiency and ensure premium-quality raw milk input, which is essential for advanced processes such as ultrafiltration.

These innovations carry particular weight given Vinamilk’s scale and global reach. As Southeast Asia’s largest dairy producer, Vinamilk operates 15 modern farms, manages over 130,000 dairy cows, and processes more than 408,000 tons of fresh milk annually, sourced from both its own farms and smallholder suppliers.

The smart testing system not only ensures premium-quality input for advanced processes like ultrafiltration but also helps uplift lower-grade milk to higher standards – enabling fairer pricing for farmers and supporting rural communities.

Vinamilk’s global footprint reflects nearly 30 years of export experience, with products available in 65 countries.

It is one of the few Vietnamese companies to own international manufacturing facilities (in the US and Cambodia) and overseas dairy farms (in Laos).

With a diverse portfolio of over 300 SKUs, Vinamilk’s products have earned prestigious safety and purity awards in both the US and Europe, reinforcing its reputation for quality and innovation on a global scale.
