Our Capabilities
The state-of-the-art facility has been producing infant milk formula since 1949.
Our ability to provide high quality formula consistently, is due to a number of factors:
located in the heart of Normandy close to the sea and enjoys uniquely rich soils. The land is well irrigated, has mild weather and benefits from coastal winds that bring sea spray and iodine, contributing to the high-quality grass growth. The grass that grows here is easily digested and processed by the cows, creating a perfect ecosystem.
The quality of the livestock is an important contributor to the quality of the milk and the Normande breed of cow has a long heritage, being descended from imported 9th century Viking stock. Reared in the open for large parts of the year they have an excellent physical constitution and provide both high quantity and high quality of milk production. The higher protein and fat content, contributes to the production of excellent dairy and baby formula products.
At Isigny, Isilac is able to call upon some of the best know-how in Europe. We have all the bacteriological and nutritional expertise needed to maintain consistently high standards of manufacture.
We are able to exclusively produce spray-dried infant formula, which means we always work with the wet blending process. One distinct benefit of this drying method is that all quality parameters may be more successfully controlled than they can be with the dry mix method, guaranteeing exceptional high-quality standards of infant formula.
The manufacturing facility is fully computer-monitored, providing consistency in the manufacturing process, contributing to the high reliability of the Isilac range and ensuring we always meet and exceed standards for Good Manufacturing (GMP) and Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points (HACCP).
