GEA to build Asia’s largest milk production facility in India
The plant will process around 90,000 liters of milk per hour to produce multiple value-added products.
AmulFed Dairy (formerly Mother Dairy) in Gandhinagar, a unit of Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), tapped GEA Group, Germany, to build a new turnkey dairy plant for the production of 150 tons of skim milk powder per day and 120 tons of dairy whitener/baby food per day. The milk powder plant is scheduled to begin production in 2018.
When completed, the plant will be dubbed as the largest skim milk powder and dairy whitener plant in Asia. The company markets its milk and milk products under the Amul brand and its baby milk powder under the name of Amul Spray.
