Clofine Dairy

What Clofine Dairy does

Clofine Dairy & Food Products is a privately held, family-owned B2B manufacturer and trader of industrial dairy and food ingredients, headquartered in Linwood, New Jersey, with a Midwest office in Chicago. Founded in the early 1900s by Charles Clofine as a Philadelphia dairy business, the company is now in its fourth generation of family management and serves industrial food manufacturers across North America and select international markets. Its operations span the full ingredient value chain, combining commodity trading with in-house manufacturing capabilities including spray drying, dry blending, lecithinating, and agglomerating, and operating USDA, Grade A, kosher, and third-party approved facilities.

The company's product portfolio is organized around two proprietary brands — CDP Fine-Mix™ for custom-formulated dairy and food ingredient blends, and CDP Soy-Fine™ for spray-dried soy milk, tofu powders, soy flours, and textured soy proteins — alongside a broad general dairy product line covering butter, milk powders, whey products, cheese, casein, and lactose. Clofine also operates a Risk Management program that allows customers to fix prices on dairy ingredients up to 18 months in advance using Chicago Mercantile Exchange futures and cash-settled commodity swaps, covering Grade A Butter, AMF/Butter Oil, Whole Milk Powder, Nonfat Dry Milk, fluid sweet cream, and cheeses. The company holds USDA, Grade A, kosher, extra grade, and organic certifications across relevant product lines.

Commercially, Clofine operates an enterprise field-sales model, with direct selling through its corporate and Midwest offices, an in-house logistics department handling domestic and international deliveries, and a network of US distribution centers serving LTL customers. Revenue is generated through transaction-based ingredient sales on either spot pricing or fixed monthly/quarterly/annual contracts, with no subscription or platform model in evidence. The firm has not raised institutional funding, has no disclosed PE/VC ownership, and has not pursued M&A, IPO, or significant restructuring.
