Supply management expertise at T.C. Jacoby & Co. begins with milk and extends to the marketing and logistics of milk solids, cheese, powders, components and custom and designed dairy products.
Formed in 1996, North American Milk Products (NAMP) pioneered and patented the concept of "cold" processed raw milk ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO). Customers desiring only the milk solids often have costs that are attributed to the waste disposal and yield of their raw materials. UF milk provides less waste and higher yields to these customers. Cheese plants, for example, have up to 15% higher yields when replacing 10% of their raw milk with UF. For this reason, customers will pay premium prices in order to acquire UF milk.
Premium prices tend to be high enough that dairy farmers stand to significantly increase profits with an on-farm UF facility. An investment of this kind gives a farmer the financial edge to compete in today's competitive dairy industry.
T.C. Jacoby & Co. consultants are prepared to assist in the pre-planning phase and construction of a UF facility. Unmatched experience and expertise give T.C. Jacoby & Co. the ability to provide customers with the necessary resources to be frontrunners in a global market. TCJ consultants have over 75 years combined experience in the construction and operation of dairy facilities. The company's dedicated sales representatives will market the ultrafiltered (UF) product and its dried form, MPC, from new or existing facilities to domestic and global customers.
UF facilities have three major advantages: Broader marketing options, decreased transportation charges, and, as previously mentioned, the ability to charge premium prices for the UF milk.
If you have limited buyers available, ultrafiltration increases your marketing options. Dairy food manufacturers come to T.C. Jacoby & Co. for a fluid milk product with higher solids and/or protein content. Since cheese production yields can be increased with concentrated milk, dairy farmers that utilize an on-farm ultrafiltration facility can sell their product to a much larger customer base than just the local dairy handlers.
UF facilities are also advantageous because they help to decrease transportation costs. For example, UF milk concentrated at 3.5-to-1 means a 50,000-pound tanker can contain an amount of milk solids worth that of 175,000 pounds of regular milk. This translates to lower hauling costs per pound of solids.
The technologies and expertise within NAMP can assist producers in construcing a processing facility to meet the needs of a customer with specialty dairy ingredient requirements.
As a leader in advanced dairy processes, North American Milk Products(NAMP) is the premier expert in fractionation, where advancements have the potential to maximize protein content. T.C. Jacoby will market the fractionated milk products by following the trends for industries demanding these higher protein content solutions.
T.C. Jacoby & Co. will add value to your milk by assisting in the construction of an ultrafiltration facility and by marketing ultrafiltered milk or fractionated milk from an existing facility.
