In 1995, Thacker Dairy Products Private Limited
started its dairy processing centre in West
Bengal. By doing so, it became the 1st Private
Dairy in West Bengal, with the vision and aim to
organize the then unorganized milk market in
and around Kolkata which was at that time filled
with local milk sellers in an unhygienic manner.
After being a Pioneer in the development and
the change of the milk market in West Bengal,
Thacker Dairy in 1998 looked at the
procurement of milk in West Bengal, which was
also much unorganized. Thacker Dairy set up a
chilling centre in Shyampur, in 1998, again
becoming the first private Dairy in West Bengal
to do so. With the help of the chilling centre,
Thacker Dairy ensured that the milk it used in
its factory was fresh and direct from the
farmers.
In 2010, Thacker Dairy has become the 1st to
set up a Spray Drier Plant in the whole of
Eastern India. By doing so, Thacker Dairy will be
able to convert the milk into Skimmed Milk
Powder and Butter/Ghee and market it in West
Bengal. By setting up the Spray Drier Plant,
Thacker Dairy will manufacture and ensure that
the slowly ensure that West Bengal becomes an
independent state in terms of dairy products.
