Lactalis is a family-owned dairy group based in Laval (Mayenne), in the west of France.
In 1933, André Besnier started up his cheese-making company. On the first day he collected 17 litres of milk and produced 35 camemberts: the Besnier company was in business. Since then, the group, which adopted the more international name of Lactalis in 1999, has continued to expand rapidly.
Its range of products has grown considerably (cheeses, milk, cream, butter, ultra-fresh, etc.), as has the reputation of its products. Lactalis now owns a series of prestigious French and international brands.
The group now employs 30,000 people, and owns 119 industrial plants around the world, 76 in France, 43 abroad.
It is the:
- number 2 dairy group in the world
- number 1 dairy and cheese group in Europe
- number 1 milk collector in Europe
- number 2 food processing group in France
- number 1 cheese producer in France
- number 1 cheese producer in Italy
Its turnover objective for 2007 is to reach 9 billion euros.
55% of its turnover is generated outside of France.
Lactalis is present in 140 countries outside of France and employs 13,000 people. The marketing of the group's products in the countries of Asia, Africa, the Balkans, the Middle East and the French Overseas Départements & Territories is managed by the Lactalis International division.
