About Campina
Campina is the leading fresh milk, yoghurt and custard brand in the Netherlands and Belgium. Vla, the thick pourable custard it sells in cartons, is a Dutch staple with almost no equivalent in neighbouring countries. FrieslandCampina is owned by the farmers who supply it, so the brand's profits return to Dutch, German and Belgian dairy cooperative members rather than to outside shareholders.
