Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
 
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
 
1)     If the company in reference manufactures dairy products, it is permissible to purchase such products from them on conditions[1]:
 
a)     The product is Halāl.
b)    There is no contamination what so ever with Harām.
 
If the product is Harām or there is contamination, it will not be permissible to purchase such a product.
 
2)     Your friend’s father’s second marriage was valid. To combine two sisters in one marriage is impermissible in Islam. [2] Allah Ta῾ālā has mention in the Qurān:
حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ.. وَأَنْ تَجْمَعُوا بَيْنَ الْأُخْتَيْنِ إِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ.سورة النساء 23
It is prohibited upon you to combine two sisters in wedlock except what has past.[3]
 
Your friend’s father’s third marriage was not valid. However, his lineage will be legitimate.[4]
 
Your friend is a Muslim Alhamdulillah. You may maintain your friendship with him.
 
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
