DN AGRAR commences production of skimmed milk concentrate

ROMANIA – DN AGRAR has announced the start of production and commercial operations at its new skimmed concentrate and cream processing facility, located at Straja Farm in Alba County.

The investment marks another step in the implementation of DN AGRAR’s 2025 – 2030 Development Strategy.

The new facility provides greater operational flexibility in managing milk volumes, improves transportation efficiency, and creates additional opportunities for revenue diversification through the supply of dairy ingredients to its B2B customers.

The new facility allows DN AGRAR to separate and concentrate part of the milk produced at Straja Farm, expanding its supply options for B2B customers in domestic and international markets.

By optimizing transportation and extending storage possibilities, the investment provides greater operational flexibility, improves logistics efficiency, and creates additional opportunities for revenue diversification.

Developed through an investment of approximately EUR 3.5 million, the facility has a processing capacity of over 300,000 liters of milk per day, with full capacity expected by 2028.

Peter de Boer, CEO of DN Agrar Group, said, “As we pursue our ambition to double milk production by 2030, from 80 million liters this year to 150-200 million liters, we remain committed to strengthening our position as a reliable supplier to the dairy industry.

“We believe that combining production growth with targeted investments in technology and operational efficiency is essential to building a more resilient business and creating sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders.”

Its product portfolio includes cream and skimmed milk concentrate (SMC), with the possibility of producing kosher-certified products, primarily supplied as ingredients to B2B customers.

Concurrently, the production flexibility includes dairy ingredients with fat contents ranging from 0.5% to 4%, depending on customer requirements, with deliveries in full truckloads or 1,000-liter containers.

The storage capacity is 540,000 liters, comprising 400,000 liters at the processing facility and 140,000 liters at Straja Farm, providing greater flexibility in production and delivery planning.

There’s transport efficiency with reduced transportation requirements from four trucks of raw milk to one truck of concentrated product, resulting in lower logistics costs.

The first deliveries started in November, targeting the domestic market and with a focus on Greece and Italy as export markets.
