We pioneer the future of Dairy for good.
Our culture, driven by our pioneering spirit, disrupted the dairy and infant milk formula industry.
At every point The a2 Milk Company rethought how to do dairy.
We do this by pioneering:
Conventional cow's milk contains two main types of beta-casein protein, A2 protein and A1 protein – our branded milk is different from conventional cow's milk because it comes from cows selected to naturally produce only the A2 protein type and no A1.
But the a2 Milk® brand is much more than just a difference between A1 and A2 protein types.
Our brand stands for a series of wonderful qualities from where we source our milk, the extra special care we take from cow to consumer, and how we educate and engage with our consumers.
That’s why there is only one a2 Milk® from The a2 Milk Company.
Bold passion
We believe in the power of the a2 proposition. We are pioneers and always find a way to make it happen. We are passionate about our consumers and customers
Ownership & agility
We align on outcomes and prioritise initiatives. We are effective in teams and do what we say we will do. We are flexible and act with a sense of urgency
Leading constructively
We are proud of what we do and how we do it. We encourage and develop ourselves and others. We are honest, direct and respectful in our interactions. We unlock the full potential of ourselves and others through constructive leadership
Disruptive thinking
We think big, creatively and logically to maximise Group impact. We are better together and unlock the power of the collective. We challenge existing ways of working to achieve better solutions. We are rarely satisfied with the status quo and want to achieve more
Our purpose is to pioneer the future of dairy for good and we strive to make a difference by helping communities, supporting organisations which are helping to create a brighter future for children and families, as well as the Company's farming families. Support takes the form of funds and product donations to help communities survive and thrive.
We support Foodbank Australia to help improve access to nutritious food for children and families who need it most. Our partnership includes fresh milk product donations (since 2015) alongside cash contributions and team volunteering to support Foodbank’s work in communities.
A key focus of our support is Foodbank’s School Breakfast Program, which provides a healthy breakfast for school children who would otherwise go without. Our ongoing support of this program has helped extend the reach of the program to more than 118 schools across some of Australia’s most remote Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia.
KidsCan is New Zealand's leading charity dedicated to helping New Zealand
children affected by poverty. The Child Poverty monitor in New Zealand
shows 11.3% of all children living in households in material hardship regularly
go without the basic essentials.
The Company has recently become a major partner of KidsCan to help support low socio-economic early childhood education centres across New Zealand to provide children attending those centres with food, clothing, and health products. a2MC supports KidsCan's belief that education is a child's ticket out of poverty, but that children struggle to learn when they are cold, wet and hungry.
In China there are around 25,000 newborn babies suffering from cleft lip palate every year, and corrective surgery can help to transform those children's lives. However, children cannot undergo surgery until they achieve the requisite "health standard".
With more than 6,000 medical volunteers from around the world, Operation Smile is one of the world's largest volunteer-based not for profit organisations. Since 2021 we have been partnering with Operation Smile, to provide corrective surgery, expenses and nutrition products to 300 children suffering from cleft lip palate, before and after their operation.
At The a2 Milk Company, our purpose is to pioneer the future of Dairy for good. We are a premium branded nutritional company uniquely focused on products that are free from the A1-type beta-casein protein. We have products and trading activities across New Zealand, Australia, Greater China, North America, and a selection of emerging international markets.
Australia is our most well-established market, where we have had a strong focus since 2007. Our a2 Milk® liquid milk range and a2 Platinum® infant nutrition products are supported by trusted customer partnerships across major grocery and pharmacy channels, and we continue to invest behind the brand and innovate to meet evolving consumer needs.

In 2015, the a2 Milk® brand was launched in the United States. Since launch, a2 Milk® has grown significantly as we’ve expanded distribution, strengthened brand awareness and continued to innovate. In Canada, we have an exclusive licensing agreement with Agrifoods International Cooperative Ltd for the production, distribution, sales and marketing of a2 Milk® branded liquid milk.
Greater China is our largest market and a core growth engine. We primarily operate in the infant milk formula (IMF) category, with both English label and China label products.
Consumers can purchase our English label a2 Platinum® products through cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) and online-to-offline (O2O) channels, and our China label products through domestic e-commerce and mother & baby retail. Alongside IMF, we are building our broader nutritionals portfolio—launching new products across infant, kids and seniors life stages—and expanding into selected emerging international markets.
In New Zealand’s Waikato region, our a2 infant nutritionals facility (located in Pōkeno) is an integrated nutritional manufacturing site with proven expertise producing high-quality infant milk formula, including our English label products. The site also provides strategic control over China label registrations linked to the facility. Looking ahead, we have plans to grow the site’s capability and capacity over time and to support the reintroduction of China label products under The a2 Milk Company brand, subject to China regulatory approvals.
Our premium products provide foundational nutrition to people all over the world. That means the work we do has real world impact.
