OPENING THE WORLD TO THE BEST OF MILK Today, the world leader in dairy products, Lactalis operates in all categories of this market. It is the world's leading cheese maker, the European leader in drinking milk, butters and creams, but also a major player in the ultra-fresh market, dairy ingredients and out-of-home consumption, as well as a growing player in clinical and infant nutrition. Present throughout the world, the Lactalis Group has always been able to anticipate market trends , by adapting to production and consumption methods, while respecting the local and cultural specificities of each country. A UNIQUE GROWTH MODEL Its development model is long-term and is defined by an uninterrupted dynamic of external growth operations coupled with the development of its portfolio of more than a hundred brands. It mainly aims to acquire dairy companies with similar values, to support them, through industrial, marketing and human investments, towards a new boom. Its brand development strategy is based on the international deployment of its three global brands, President, Galbani and Parmalat, while supporting and investing in the service of local brands. The Lactalis Group thus draws its strength and success from a proximity strategy, respectful of its environment and its people and demanding in terms of the health and organoleptic quality of its products. UNE STRATÉGIE DE MARQUE RESPECTUEUSE DES CULTURES LOCALES Acteur majeur de l’industrie laitière mondiale, le Groupe Lactalis contribue par essence au développement de l’économie locale et rurale des territoires où il est implanté. En France essentiellement, comme en Italie, cet engagement passe par une volonté forte de valoriser la diversité des fromages d’appellations d’origine et de terroir. Hors de France, il se traduit par le respect des cultures alimentaires et modes de consommation locaux, pour les valoriser au mieux et offrir au plus grand nombre les fromages et produits laitiers traditionnels, à l’image du twarog, spécialité fromagère ancestrale des pays de l’Est de l’Europe. The Lactalis Group thus fully covers its role as the world leader in dairy products by supporting its major national brands, as well as its local or regional “nuggets”.
