Nutrition for infants, kids and mothers with OEM services

OEM Services

Accelerate growth in high-value dairy categories with Valio

The global demand for nutrition tailored to specific life stages continues to rise. Expecting and breastfeeding mothers, infants, and growing children all have unique nutritional needs, and parents are increasingly seeking products that support healthy growth and development from the very beginning.

For manufacturers, developing new products from scratch can be time-consuming, and building new production facilities requires heavy investment. The challenge is how to seize these opportunities quickly and cost-effectively, without compromising on safety, quality, or performance.

End-to-end support for creating new products with ease

Dairy provides a natural foundation to meet many nutritional needs, offering high-quality protein, essential fats such as phospholipids, and key micronutrients that support development and wellbeing. Valio’s OEM services deliver end-to-end support for creating science-based, great-tasting products for expecting and breastfeeding mothers, infants, and children aged three and up.

We combine scientific expertise, advanced manufacturing, and decades of product development experience to deliver premium, safe, and consumer-approved solutions. From concept to launch, our dedicated OEM team ensures smooth collaboration, compliant documentation, and reliable delivery every step of the way.

New opportunities in early life nutrition

Toddler and maternal nutrition products represent a rapidly expanding market, driven by growing awareness that the foundation for lifelong health is built during the first 1,000 days of a child’s life. As a result, parents are increasingly investing in nutritional solutions that support healthy growth and development.

Valio’s dry blend process enables the addition of heat-sensitive, value-adding micro-ingredients such as lactoferrin and probiotics. With these components, manufacturers can develop advanced, specialized nutrition products and capture growth in the value-added early life nutrition segment.
