Start AVH dairy
AVH dairy trade B.V. was founded by Monique de Wit and Arnauld van Hees in 2001. The reason for starting a business in goat and sheep dairy was the fact that Monique and Arnauld’s children appeared to suffer from cow milk allergy at a young age. Goat’s milk could be a solution to cow’s milk allergy; the idea was born to start a dairy company as an exporter of goat and sheep’s milk products. The wish to create a personal and a clearly structured company matched this market well. Now, the company has developed into a more mature player in this market that grows quickly.
