The company was founded in 1871 when farmers joined forces in local cooperative dairy factories due to the lack of refrigeration and to gain more power in the market. In late December 2008 FC NEDERLAND BV was founded on two great Dutch dairy companies: Friesland Foods and Campina, which developed along similar lines in the 19th and 20th centuries. FrieslandCampina is among the five largest dairy companies worldwide, which produces and sells consumer products, such as dairy-based beverages, infant nutrition, cheese and desserts in many European countries, in Asia and in Africa via its own subsidiaries.
