About The Company
At The a2 Milk Company our purpose is to pioneer the future of dairy for good. Conventional cows’ milk contains two main types of beta casein protein, A2 protein and A1 protein – our branded milk is different from conventional cows’ milk because it comes from cows selected to naturally produce only the A2 protein type and no A1. Our branded milk is naturally occurring and not a product of genetic engineering or technological processes. Many consumers and healthcare professionals report that certain people who experience challenges drinking conventional cows’ milk may experience benefits when they switch to a2 Milk®. The a2 Milk Company has products and trading activities in Australia, New Zealand, Greater China, North America, and a selection of emerging markets. Please note: Investors interested in the press we're getting can have a look about what the media have to say about us. Note these views represent the views of third parties and The a2 Milk Company takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the information reported.

The a2 Milk Company, driven by science and a pioneering spirit, disrupted the dairy and infant milk formula industry. Our vision is to create an A1-free world where dairy nourishes all people and our planet.
