ABOUT US


Medipharm USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Arla Foods since June, 2002, was established in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1984.  Arla Foods is the largest dairy cooperative in the European Union, specializing in fresh and fermented milk products, cheeses, fruit juices, and other food products and ingredients. Medipharm USA is basic in the manufacturing of beneficial bacterial cultures and innovative finished products containing these cultures and other unique ingredients, including antibodies, enzymes, active yeasts, and other natural nutraceutical ingredients.  Our three main marketing areas include direct-fed microbials (formerly refered to as probiotics), silage inoculants, and baled hay preservatives.

After Arla Foods acquired 100 % of Medipharm USA, we are pleased to offer the newest technology researched at the Arla Innovation Centres.  We are extending our product line to include human probiotic cultures, specialty cheese ripening products, and other specialty bacterial starter cultures.  These technologies have been well-received in Europe and other parts of the world, making a major impact on dairy and food products world-wide.

Medipharm USA is committed to the manufacturing of quality microbial cultures and products.  In February, 2003, Medipharm received ISO 9001:2000 status.
