Horizon Organic Dairy Unveils New Name, Plans to Expand Portfolio

Horizon Family Brands is a leading provider of organic dairy products,
Horizon Organic Dairy will now do business as Horizon Family Brands, sharing ambitious plans this week to build a better-for-you portfolio of products with Horizon Organic and Wallaby as its heritage brands.
As the leading organic milk producer in the U.S., Horizon Organic has been committed to delivering products that families can rely on. Wallaby is the only Organic Aussie Greek Style Yogurt in the U.S. - crafted to create a creamy and not too tart yogurt. Horizon Family Brands has a unique opportunity to build upon the legacy of these brands, while nurturing a brighter future for all.
Horizon Organic, a pioneer in organic dairy and the largest USDA-certified organic milk and dairy brand in the world, and Wallaby, a leading brand of organic creamy Australian-style Greek yogurts and cultured products, have always operated under the belief that doing business and doing good should coexist and can be mutually beneficial. Horizon Organic and Wallaby will continue to evolve as market leaders within Horizon Family Brands.
In 2024, Horizon Organic and Wallaby were acquired by Platinum Equity. Horizon Organic and Wallaby were attractive brands to Platinum as they both offer premium organic and value-added products, which are driving growth in premium dairy categories. There is a tremendous opportunity to build on the legacy of these brands and support the next generation of Horizon Family Brands.
"We are excited to nurture and grow the two terrific brands that we have in Horizon Organic and Wallaby, while also actively pursuing the addition of other better-for-you brands that align with the portfolio we aspire to build," said Tyler Holm, CEO of Horizon Family Brands. "Ideally, in the next three to five years, our portfolio will consist of additional similar brands."
Beyond business growth, Horizon Organic and Wallaby remain committed to the planet and creating a better tomorrow for all. In August 2024, both brands achieved B Corp Certification, which builds on the ongoing commitment to meet high standards of social and environmental impact, transparency and accountability. This involved establishing new baselines and meaningful goals around material sustainability metrics, as well as engaging employees to ensure being a B Corp is not just a tagline but genuinely integrated in daily decision making.
Wallaby is inspired by Australian yogurt and delivers what consumers are looking for today in certified organic yogurt, including simple ingredients, high protein, and a creamy, indulgent taste experience. Wallaby has expanded distribution in the natural channel and is focusing on attracting new consumers with its creamy and delicious taste.
Horizon Family Brands is headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado. and is led by an experienced leadership team with a deep passion for the organic and better-for-you food and beverage industry. The Horizon Family Brands team looks forward to a better and brighter future for all, and strives to inspire positive change across its employees, brands, partners and the people who enjoy its products.
