It also contract-manufactures custom infant nutrition formulas (stages 1-4, cow or goat milk, standard/premium, organic/conventional) under customer brands using proprietary Full Spray Drying technology.

Product overview

Laiterie de Montaigu is a family-owned French dairy company founded in 1932, now in its fourth generation of family management. The company operates as a single unified product portfolio organized into two main divisions: a Culinary Range (Gamme Culinaire) encompassing butter, UHT creams, desserts, UHT milk, milk powders, and frozen dairy treats; and a specialized Infant Nutrition division providing contract manufacturing services for premium baby formula using proprietary Full Spray Drying technology. The culinary range includes the flagship AOP Charentes-Poitou butter (certified since 1979), a comprehensive organic sub-brand (Gamme Bio), and professional ice cream and granita preparations. All products target B2B professional customers including bakeries, pastry shops, restaurants, and food manufacturers.
