About Us
Esmilco’s journey began in the Netherlands, but today we proudly serve distributors and feed dealers across the U.S., with a growing presence in Europe since 2012 and recent expansion into Asia. Our founder, Henk Esveld, developed a passion for baby animal nutrition growing up on a dairy and hog farm in Holland. After studying animal nutrition and gaining hands-on experience in Europe and the U.S., he launched Esmilco to raise healthier calves with custom, tailored milk replacers.
Now in its second generation of family ownership, we remain committed to our core mission. With Dutch heritage and strong Midwestern values, we partner closely with our customers to deliver high-quality, customized milk replacers that support healthy, thriving animals.
Our Mission
Esmilco, Inc exists to produce high quality baby animal nutrition products using the latest in nutrition information at a competitive price that allows customers the greatest opportunity for profitability in their own endeavors, because we know when our customers succeed, we succeed.
