Frequently asked questions
What is Actus Nutrition?
Actus Nutrition is a trusted leader in premium nutrition ingredients for foods, beverages, and performance products worldwide. Actus has been redefining what’s possible since 1945 when the company started out as an early pioneer who helped transform whey from a cheesemaking byproduct into a cornerstone of modern nutrition.
Today, Actus stands at the forefront of global innovation, delivering whey proteins, milk proteins, caseins, caseinates, functional proteins like lactoferrin, and specialty ingredients that set the standard for quality. Our vertically integrated operations ensure unmatched consistency and flexibility, including private-label solutions for leading food and beverage brands. Beyond human nutrition, our robust animal nutrition division supports pets, livestock, and performance animals with the same commitment to excellence.
Are Actus Nutrition and Milk Specialties Global the same?
Yes. In October 2024, Milk Specialties Global changed its name to Actus Nutrition to better reflect our role and growth across health, wellbeing, and nutrition ingredients. See our official announcement in the press release.
If you see references to “Milk Specialties Global” on historical documents or third-party listings, they refer to the same company under our former name. The new brand reflects continuity and expansion, not a change in our dedication to customers or business model.
Is Actus a U.S.-based company?
Yes. Actus is the largest whey processor in North America and headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Actus operates 14 manufacturing facilities across the Unites States. All our ingredients are sourced and manufactured in the U.S. Actus also exports to customers in more than 50 countries.
