Presentation

The Granarolo Group, one of the main players in the Italian agro-food sector, consists of two diverse entities with sizeable synergies: a milk producers consortium – Granlatte – which operates in the agricultural sector and collects the raw milk, and a limited company - Granarolo S.p.A. – which processes and markets the finished dairy products and has 6 production sites established all over Italy.

The Granarolo Group represents the most important Italian milk distribution network, owned by associated producers organised as a cooperative. It includes about 1,000 milk producers, an organization for the collection of the milk directly from dairy farms by means of 70 vehicles and further more 1,200 vehicles for distribution. These transport 750 thousand tonnes per year and serve daily more than 60 thousand sales points where 11 million Italian families are buying Granarolo products. Granarolo is the leading producer of fresh milk in Italy. Through the acquisition of Yomo in 2004 became the biggest Italian producer of yoghurt and through the acquisition (2011) of Lat Bri (a fresh cheese producer company) is now the first Italian dairy company in terms of Italian capital.

The Group operates 6 manufacturing facilities located throughout Italy, with certified quality management and environmental management systems. To provide greater assurances to consumers, in addition, the farms and production sites of fresh milk and dairy products managed by Granarolo and the parent company Granlatte have been certified for food chain control and traceability systems.
