The Milk Process

Milk is a precious commodity. We therefore continually seek to surpass consumer expectations through excellent quality and workmanship in our entire milk process, from feeding the cows to distribution of the final product in the Middle East.

Feeding

We receive milk in large quantities from European farms that care for cows mainly from Germany and the Netherlands. In order to produce the best milk, we recommend farmers provide cows with the ideal mix of natural and nutritive fodder.

Milking

Before the milking begins, the dairy cows are hygienically cleaned to ensure the process is safe. The modern milking machines make it possible for multiple cows to be milked simultaneously. For example, German cows are milked in both the mornings and evenings and can produce close to 6,500 litres of milk every year!

Transport to the Dairy Plant

Our modern dairy trucks collect fresh milk every 2-3 days from our member farmers. Each of these trucks is able to transport between 10,000 and 30,000 litres per trip!

Analysing the Milk

As soon as our collecting trucks reach our dairy plants in Germany or the Netherlands, they are pumped empty directly into our huge storage tanks. Before processing, we analyse the milk in accordance with the highest standards, ensuring only the best–quality milk is used. Once our specialists approve the quality, the milk is prepared for processing.

Processing

After the preparation, the milk is transferred to our modern production lines where we produce evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, sterilised cream, flavoured milk drinks, coffee cream, fresh and UHT-milk and a variety of other milk products.

Packing

In general, our processing and packing processes are strongly connected. For example, evaporated milk is filled into cans and then heat-treated. At the end of the packing process, our products are sorted and placed into cartons or onto trays.

Transport to the Port and Shipping

After the goods are stored for a short period of time in our warehouse and inspected for quality one last time, they are shipped in a single container to one of the nearest ports. There, huge tower cranes load the containers from the trucks directly onto container vessels that sail all across the globe.

Arrival at the Port and Transport to the Stores

When the container vessels arrive at the port of destination, the containers are unloaded onto trucks after getting clearance from local customs. The trucks transport the products to distributors, malls, hyper- and supermarkets and other retailers, where our customers can discover the entire range of Bonny products.
