Lactalis Group
We are a family-owned French company, founded in 1933 in Laval. Every day, 85,500 people across more than 51 countries turn milk into healthy, flavorful and accessible products. Together, we bring beloved brands to life around the world and keep our dairy craftsmanship deeply rooted in local communities.
Our purpose
Nurturing the Future guides everything we do. We transform an essential resource, milk into everyday products that respect the women and men who make our company, and the farmers who partner with us. We act with quality, accessibility and sustainability in mind, from farm to table, adapting our practices to the needs and expectations of each market.
Our history
Born in Laval in 1933, we have grown alongside our territories and our métiers. From the first cheese dairy to sites now located across several continents, our trajectory is written in the present: passing on know-how, developing useful innovations, embracing international openness and maintaining local proximity. This continuity of action supports evolving food habits and has helped our brands shine for more than 90 years.
Our values
We move forward with Ambition, Simplicity and Commitment. Ambition drives us to move further and responsibly. Simplicity shapes the way we speak, work and
collaborate. Commitment unites us with our teams, partners and local communities. These values guide our decisions and define how we craft, cooperate and serve, on
every site, in every category, in every market.
Key figures
Our figures reflect the scale and diversity of our actions: 85,500 talents, a presence in 51 countries, a worldwide network of dairy sites, and a multi-category portfolio combining local and international brands. They also underline our responsibility: striving every day to reinforce quality, accessibility and positive local impact for all stakeholders.
Our sustainability commitments
We act on four priorities: climate, responsible packaging, animal welfare, and biodiversity & forests. Together with our partner farmers and our teams, we deploy concrete action plans across the upstream value chain and on our sites. Our trajectory is measured, monitored and improved, market by market, to reconcile taste, accessibility and responsibility throughout the entire value chain.
