Brand Story
Rooted in the boundless grasslands of Inner Mongolia, Hairu's history traces back to the mid-20th century. In 1947, following the establishment of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the government encouraged dairy development to boost the local economy. By the 1950s, state-run dairy plants were founded in cities like Hohhot, marking the birth of the Hairu brand. A key figure was Bater, a herder-turned-dairy technician who combined traditional Mongolian milk processing with improved milk powder production techniques. Hairu witnessed the transformation of Inner Mongolia's dairy industry from artisanal to industrial, carrying the dietary culture of the grassland nomads. Its products not only met local needs but also supplied the nation, becoming a symbol of Inner Mongolian dairy. The name 'Hairu' means 'sea of grassland, fragrance of milk,' reflecting gratitude for nature's gifts and a pursuit of quality.
