Valio is known globally as a pioneer in functional foods and unique milk processing technologies.
The innovative and value added products and technologies that promote well-being are based on scientific research and leading technological expertise in the field, and are made from a top quality raw material – Finnish milk.
Valio’s product development and marketing expertise continuously help to create new products that increase well-being. The goal is to promote Valio’s innovations in selected markets, either under the Valio brand or by licensing the technology to responsible partners. Valio’s partners include many leading European dairies such as Tine in Norway, Kaiku in Spain and Emmi in Switzerland.
Valio’s success is based on its business in Finland and the nearby market areas where the demand for our products is growing. We have licensed our expertise globally, and products based on Valio innovations are currently available in nearly 60 countries around the world.
Osuusliike Valio was founded as a co-operative in 1905 to promote Finnish butter exports and supervise the quality of exported butter. Today, more than one hundred years later, Valio researchers focus on e.g. whey proteins that have favourable effects on muscle metabolism, weight management, and body mass composition.
