Pakistan Milk Powder & Butter-oil Factory — Design and Build
| Client | Millac Foods Pakistan Ltd (MFPL) |
| Sector / Products | Fortified milk powders, cream, butter, butter-oil — to European standards |
| Scale | 10,000 tonnes/year of fortified milk powders, cream, butter and butter-oil |
| Year | 2001 (construction start June 2001) |
| Services | Factory Design, Equipment Relocation, Project Management |
The Challenge
Lead the design team and supervise the construction of a new greenfield dairy factory in Pakistan to manufacture 10,000 tonnes per annum of fortified milk powders, cream, butter and butter-oil to European standards. The product would substitute for milk powders that were previously imported into Pakistan.
In parallel, project-manage the dismantling, containerising and shipping of major dairy equipment — spray dryer, evaporator, separator, butter-oil plant — from a recently-closed medium-sized UK dairy factory to Lahore.
The Approach
- Supervised marking, dismantling, containerising and shipping of dairy equipment from the UK source facility
- Detailed contents lists and photography of every item for insurance purposes
- Guided the in-country team of engineers, architects and civil engineers on building design
- Identified missing equipment and recommended renewal or service items
- Designed for ease of operation with all manufacturing areas visible from a central control room
The Outcome
The Raiwind dairy factory is today recognised as **one of the leading dairy plants in Pakistan**. Manufacturing went live to European-standard specifications, replacing imported milk powders with domestic production. The central-control-room design proved a benchmark for operational visibility in the region.
