Veganz and Jindilli Rewire Plant Milk Supply Chains in US and ANZ

You’d be forgiven for missing this one in the white noise of oat foams and almond froths, but it’s worth paying attention - Mililk is on the move and downunder.

Germany’s Veganz has signed a deal with Illinois-based Jindilli Beverages, the people behind milkadamia, to bring its proprietary Mililk system to North America and the Australia–New Zealand (ANZ) region. That’s right, concentrated plant milk is getting its moment, and the duopoly of almond and oat might be about to get shaken, not stirred.

The model is clever. Instead of trucking tonnes of liquid across the world, Veganz will ship concentrated Mililk oat and almond formats from its Ludwigsfelde facility in Germany. These will land in the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, where Jindilli will handle distribution. That includes one-litre cartons for retail shelves, five-litre options for cafés and kitchens, and even something called “Creamer Drops.” (Yes, that’s probably going to be a thing.)

The first revenues from this tie-up are expected as early as September.

So, what is Mililk exactly? It’s more than a plant milk, it’s a rethink. A powdered or concentrated base, blended with water at the point of use, eliminating the need for chilled shipping or bulk liquid logistics. Think fewer trucks, less packaging, longer shelf life, and more bang per bottle.

According to Veganz German based, CEO Jan Bredack, the goal is “rethinking how plant-based drinks are produced, packaged, and distributed.” And here’s where it gets real: there are already whispers of a Mililk facility being built in the US. That means Jindilli could go from distributor to co-manufacturer, cutting costs, slashing freight emissions, and turning a German export into a local staple.

For Jindilli, it’s a strategic power play. Known for its regenerative macadamia supply chains and distinct environmental ethos, milkadamia has carved a loyal base. Now, with Mililk in the mix, the company can extend into oat and almond while maintaining its low-impact brand promise.

Veganz, once a Berlin vegan supermarket, has quietly become a serious plant-tech player. Its Mililk platform is the cornerstone of its dairy-free push, supported by a wider line of meat and snack alternatives. This new partnership sets it up to scale in markets where oat is already beloved (hello, Melbourne) and macadamia is native.

One more thing: this isn’t just a ‘product partnership.’ It’s a framework deal—with room to expand, iterate, and bring in new product formats. Consider this phase one.
