Partnerships

Volac created a global joint venture company VWFI with Wilmar International Limited in 2015 to develop our animal feed fat business around the world.

Volac Wilmar Feed Ingredients combines the nutritional reputation, brand presence and sales network of Volac with the raw material logistics and global operations of Wilmar.

Wilmar is Asia's leading agribusiness group, with headquarters in Singapore. Its diverse business activities include oil palm cultivation, oilseed crushing, edible oil refining, sugar milling and refining, specialty fats, oleochemicals, biodiesel and fertiliser manufacturing and grain processing.

The venture offers a complete range of branded feed fat products to address the needs of compound feedmills, agricultural merchants and farmers, including the MEGA-branded range of feed fat products.

Volac works in partnership with ‘First Milk’ — Britain’s only major dairy cooperative wholly-owned by dairy farmers — and we source whey from their Haverfordwest creamery in south-west Wales.

First Milk manufactures cheese and produces bulk butter, cream and whey proteins. Supplying traceable fresh milk to a range of dairy manufacturers and processors across the UK, is also a large part of their business, supported by responsible sourcing and a commitment to sustainable supply chains.

As a business with a passion for innovation and sustainability, Volac constantly seeks fresh ways of working with partners across the supply chain to meet industry challenges and our commitment to these goals is reflected in the partnership that we have built with First Milk.
