Lactalis, a French family-owned dairy leader, boasts a remarkable journey since 1933. Today, it reigns as the #1 global dairy group, #1 in Europe for both dairy and cheese, and the top milk collector and cheese producer across the continent. Its diverse product range and prestigious brands showcase its commitment to quality and innovation.
Recognizing the potential of India's dairy market, Lactalis strategically acquired Tirumala and Anik in 2014 and 2016, respectively. These acquisitions provided a strong foothold in both South and North India, leveraging the strengths of local expertise and international know-how. Tirumala, established in 1996, is renowned for its healthy and delicious dairy products, while Anik, with over 52 years of experience, is known for its high-quality milk powder and offerings sourced from the Malwa region.
Further solidifying its presence, Lactalis acquired Prabhat Dairy in 2023, a leading player with a robust distribution network and advanced manufacturing facilities.
Lactalis' dedication to quality, innovation, and strategic acquisitions has cemented its position as a global dairy leader. Its journey in India, through the acquisitions of Tirumala, Anik, and Prabhat, demonstrates its commitment to serving Indian consumers with high-quality dairy products while respecting local traditions and expertise.
