After nearly half a century, the industry has developed significantly with noteworthy achievements.

The factory, with an annual capacity of 54,000 tons, was expected to create a breakthrough in terms of both quality and quantity for this product. Vinamilk is currently expanding cooperation and investment in factories, factory projects, and farms with an estimated investment capital of 600 million USD in preparation for the future.
The dairy industry cannot single out the core value of "product quality", so Vinamilk has strategically cooperated with various world's leading nutrition expert groups such as Chr Hansen, DSM, Beneo, AKK, etc. in order to develop dairy products that meet international standards. All of Vinamilk's baby formula products won the "Purity Award" in 2023 - a prestigious award on purity and food safety standards where products are subject to the screening of over 400 important criteria.
