Lactalis Group is a French dairy company with roots as a family-owned business founded in 1933 by André Besnier in Laval. Over the decades it grew into a global leader in the dairy sector, with a presence in roughly a hundred countries and a substantial production network. Its product scope covers the full range of dairy items—from milk and ultra-fresh milk to cheese, butter, cream, and dairy ingredients—supported by a diversified portfolio of around a hundred brands, including major labels and local names. Headquartered in Laval, Pays de la Loire, France, the group remains closely tied to its rural origins while employing a large global workforce. In 2026, Lactalis Canada Inc. acquired Protein Works, a Liverpool-based brand.
