From family-owned company to dairy industry’s global leader
Created in 1933 by André Besnier in Laval, Lactalis Group is a family-owned company settled in rural areas, which became dairy industry’s global leader and a major player of employment.
True to its first trade, cheesemonger, Lactalis Group, the first AOP cheese producer, contributes to the development of a rural economy open to the word. With a presence in around a hundred countries, Lactalis Group counts 80 000 collaborators and 250 production sites today.

But also a fully certified and guaranteed supply chain, from farm to table, made possible by the exclusive Supply Chain Agreement shared by our Cooperative members.

Today, Latteria Soresina is a trusted international partner for Ho.Re.Ca. professionals, combining identity, innovation, and a global vision, while never forgetting its deepest roots. Every day we bring milk, butter, and cheeses to tables around the world - true expressions of authentic Made in Italy quality - like Grana Padano, of which Latteria Soresina is the world’s leading producer.
