The Danish Society of Dairy Technology

(Danmarks Mejeritekniske Selskab)

The Danish Society of Dairy Technology was founded in 1942. The object of the society is to promote information and technical research in the dairy field and to further the application of the results in order to benefit the Danish dairy industry and its connected productions.

The society arranges meetings, lectures and seminars and co-operates with similar national and foreign organizations, associations and experts. Furthermore we arrange field trips - within the Danish border as well as abroad.

As active members, the society admits persons who are engaged in:

• Production of milk or production of - and trade in - milk products
• Dairy science, experimental activities and administration
• Heads of - and engineers in - other firms working for the dairy trade.

The society has about 300 active members.

As contributing members, the Society admits institutions, associations or firms that work within - or in connection with - the dairy trade who want to contribute to the activities of the Society. We have 25  contributing members.

The Society is managed by an executive committee consisting of ten members including the president and two vice-presidents.

The President is Mr Peter Vammen, Executive Director, Juelsminde.

The Secretary General is Mr Sven Ålborg, Danish Agriculture & Food Council, Skejby.
