Arla Foods Ingredients acquires Volac's business: Implications for the industry and Masmuscle
The recent acquisition of Volac's whey-based nutrition business by Volac by Arla Foods Ingredients marks a major strategic shift in the sports supplementation industry. This transaction not only strengthens Arla's position in the dairy ingredients market, but also ensures continuity in the production of high-quality proteins. As a result, Masmusculo's Whey80 and Isolate90 products will now include Volactive® UltraWhey protein, recognized for its purity, solubility, and high biological value.
Arla Foods Ingredients: Innovation and commitment to quality
Arla Foods Ingredients is a subsidiary of Arla Foods, one of the world's largest dairy cooperatives, owned by more than 8,400 farmers from various European countries. Its commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation has enabled it to establish itself as a benchmark in the development of functional ingredients derived from milk and whey.
This company specializes in producing high-quality ingredients for sports nutrition, clinical nutrition, infant nutrition, and other functional applications. The acquisition of Volac's business enables Arla Foods Ingredients to expand its whey protein offering, strengthening its presence in the sports nutrition sector and ensuring a stable supply of high-performance proteins.
Volac: Excellence in whey proteins
Volac has been a key company in the production of high-quality whey proteins. Its expertise in developing protein ingredients has enabled the creation of the Volactive® range, which has become a standard in the sports nutrition and functional food industry.

Types of Volactive® protein and their characteristics
- Volactive® UltraWhey 80: Whey protein concentrate with 80% pure protein, obtained through low-temperature, low-pressure ultrafiltration to preserve its amino acid profile. It is characterized by its rapid absorption and excellent solubility, making it ideal for use in shakes and sports supplements.
- Volactive® UltraWhey 90: Whey protein isolate with approximately 92% protein, low in fat and lactose. Its formulation enables rapid absorption, making it an excellent option for people with high protein demands or those seeking easier digestion.
- Volactive® UltraWhey Xtra Pure: Premium whey isolate with 94% protein and less than 0.4% lactose, designed for consumers seeking maximum protein purity and quality. It is particularly useful in formulations for advanced sports nutrition and medical applications.
Impact of the acquisition on Moremuscle
What does this mean for Whey80 and Isolate90?
The integration of Volactive® UltraWhey into products such as Whey80 and Isolate90 from Moremuscle Supplements provides consumers with a range of key benefits:
Higher protein quality and purity
Volactive® protein undergoes advanced ultrafiltration processes, allowing for a higher protein concentration without compromising its quality. This ensures a product with excellent bioavailability and an optimal amino acid profile.
Improved digestion and rapid absorption
Thanks to its low-temperature, low-pressure processing, Volactive® proteins retain their natural structure, which improves their digestion and absorption in the body. This means that Whey80 and Isolate90 will offer more efficient assimilation, reducing digestive discomfort and improving post-workout muscle recovery.
Improved solubility and flavor
One of the major challenges in formulating powdered proteins is their ability to dissolve in liquids without creating lumps or a gritty texture. Volactive® UltraWhey is designed to offer optimal solubility, allowing smooth shakes to be prepared without the need for special mixers. In addition, its neutral, clean flavor makes it easy to incorporate natural flavors without compromising product quality.
Sustainable benefits
Both Arla Foods Ingredients and Volac have demonstrated their commitment to sustainability and animal welfare. Volactive® UltraWhey is produced under strict sustainability standards, minimizing environmental impact and ensuring the efficient use of dairy resources.
