Three Crowns milk, a FrieslandCampina WAMCO brand, celebrated its 30th anniversary by partnering with the Nigerian Heart Foundation (NHF) and launching the country’s first locally-produced creamer.

Unveiling the partnership in Lagos, managing director, FrieslandCampina WAMCO, Ben Langat, said the company understands the important role food plays in reducing the risk of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases.

It is because of the close link between diet and health that our company and the Nigerian Heart Foundation have come together to endorse Three Crowns as the heart friendly milk brand,”​ Langat said, adding Three Crowns milk is the first dairy brand to be endorsed with the Nigerian Heart Foundation ‘Heart Check’ logo.

Three Crowns was launched into the Nigerian market as evaporated milk in 1988 and in 2015 it extended into the milk powder category.

Nigeria’s first locally-produced creamer

Three Crowns has also launched the Nigeria's first locally-produced evaporated creamer.

The company said the low price of N120 ($0.33) per tin allows the majority of Nigerians access to the new creamer.
