Our team in Kendal has grown nearly three times since the launch of Kendamil, and we’re continuing to invest in our Kendamil HQ. We are a family business in more ways than one, with a small team who work closely together day in day out. Kendamil would be nowhere without our (extended) family in Kendal, and we’re excited to see what comes next

In recognition of the jobs created in the Lake District, our contribution to British farming and our support of families in the USA, Ross was awarded an Honorary MBE by order of King Charles III.

In response to a baby formula shortage in the United States, Kendamil offers supply to the US government and delivers millions of cans of formula to parents in need. Kendamil offers parents in America a new, high standard of baby formula for a price that is more competitive than the most popular brands. Within 12 months, Kendamil is the fastest growing formula brand in the USA.

Years after Kendamil is first delivered to Buckingham Palace, our impact on UK manufacturing is given the royal seal of approval with the Queen’s Award. As the only British formula manufacturer, our use of locally sourced whole milk puts the high standards of British farming into the spotlight!

Our Classic formula cows milk formula is joined by Organic and then Goat, as well as our weaning porridges range. Our team travel all over the world and are greeted by parents who share their positive experiences using Kendamil.

After many years of only being sold in smaller subsets of stores or online, Kendamil was welcomed to Tesco as one of its prized ‘incubator’ brands. Who knew you could go from 0 to over 6000 stores in a few years! This was crucial to our mission to be accessible to parents, and the first step in our goal to bring Kendamil to parents everywhere.

Building on decades of experience, our R&D team set out to formulate a formula product that is uncompromised in terms of the ingredients it uses and the processing it undergoes. When our unique whole milk recipe is born, it’s only fitting that we name it after the town it comes from – Kendal. Within 1 year Kendamil even found itself in Buckingham Palace!

In 2015, the McMahon family took over the factory in Kendal to protect the jobs of our world-class team and to ensure that the production of baby formula remained in the United Kingdom.

The doors to our factory in the British Lake District first opened over 60 years ago when it was specially built to be a Centre of Excellence for baby formula. Over the decades our team has passed down research and experience from one generation to the next, constantly building on our understanding of nutrition.
