Alaska Milk Corporation (AMC) is one of the leading manufacturers of milk products in the Philippines. Its milk products are sold under the Alaska brand and is also the parent company of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) team, Alaska Aces. Alaska Milk Corporation is also listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange. As of December 13, 2010, the company has a total market capitalization of P11.9 billion and share price of P13.50.

History

In 1972, Holland Milk Products, Inc. (HOMPI) was established. HOMPI was a joint venture between between AMC’s former parent company, General Milling Corporation (GMC), and Holland Canned Milk International B.V. (now FrieslandCampina). HOMPI initially manufactured liquid canned filled milk products, (evaporated and sweetened condensed milk) and eventually expanded to manufacture powdered filled milk and UHT milk products division up.

In 1994, HOMPI was spun-off from GMC and incorporated as Alaska Milk Corporation (AMC) under the control Wilfred Uytengsu, Sr. Shortly after its incorporation, AMC was listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) in 1995.

Wilfred Steven Uytengsu, Jr., the eldest son of Wilfred Sr., assumed the position of President and CEO in 2007. The elder Uytengsu died in April 2010 at the age of 82.

In 2007, AMC acquired the canned milk business of Nestlé Philippines, Inc. The acquisition included the Alpine, Liberty and Krem Top trademarks, as well as the trademark license for Nestle’s Carnation and Milkmaid brands.

In 2012, FrieslandCampina acquired majority control of AMC from the Uytengsu family. On November 5, 2012, AMC was delisted from the PSE after FrieslandCampina completed its tender offering for 98.1% ownership of AMC.

Other developments

Following the termination of the distribution agreement, AMC introduced an evaporated creamer and a UHT All-Purpose Cream, Alaska Crema in 2003. The former was to complete the value line of liquid canned milk while the latter is to complete the line of cooking milk.

In 2007, AMC acquired international milk brands of Société Des Produits Nestlé S.A., which included Alpine, Liberty and Krem-Top brands. With these deals, AMC accounted nearly 80% of the liquid milk market. A year later, AMC introduced Alaska Yoghurt Drink and Cowbell Condensada. Cowbell Condensada is marketed towards lower-income consumers who have become price sensitive.

AMC also distributes other foreign brands. In 2005, it has signed an agreement with Kellogg’s Asia Marketing, Inc. to distribute Kellogg’s ready-to-eat cereals; and Hersheys Food Corporation for the Hershey UHT chocolate milk drink from 2003 to 2007.
