Norrmejerier is the northernmost dairy co-operative in Sweden and is owned by around 400 local farmers. We produce a broad range of dairy products and we process more than 200 million kilos of milk per year. We have a variety of national and international brands, such as the dairy brands Norrmejerier®, Verum®, Fjällfil® and Fjällyoghurt® along with the most famous cheese brand in Sweden, Västerbottensost®. Norrmejerier has around 500 employees and a turnover of around 1.9 billion Swedish Kronor.

The headquarter and the largest dairy plant is located in Umeå. The dairy plant processes more than 100 million kilos of milk every year into consumption milk, fermented milk products, cream, butter, cheese and whey concentrate. Since 2005 Norrmejerier has been producing biogas from the residuals of the dairy production. In this way, Umeå dairy is largely self-sufficient with energy and the residual products can become an asset instead of an environmental burden. The biogas plant in Umeå currently produces steam  corresponding to approximately 25,000 MWh / year. A continues stream of residue (sludge) is extracted from the biogas process. The sludge was earlier deposited to a high cost but is now used as a fertilizer at neighbouring farms and green houses. At the dairy we also have a process for waste water treatment to remove phosphorus before it enters the municipal treatment plant in Umeå.
