Thirty years ago, a project was born with a clear vision: to enhance the value of milk and contribute to the sustainable development of a sector that connects its origins with the lives of millions of people.
More than a milestone, this anniversary represents three decades of consistency, responsibility and commitment to an essential food. It marks the journey that transformed a shared vision into Grupo Lactogal, the leading dairy group in the Iberian Peninsula, always driven by the ambition to create value for the sector and for society.
What brought us here
Grupo Lactogal was created through the union of the Agros, Proleite and Lacticoop cooperatives, with a clear mission: to enhance the value of milk and contribute to the sustainable development of the dairy sector.
Our story begins with our roots. They are built on the dedication of dairy farmers, the strength of local communities, the richness of our territories and generations of knowledge, where milk production has long been an essential activity and a key driver of economic and social development.
It is this close connection to our roots that inspires our commitment to creating value across the entire value chain, bringing together milk production, industry and markets around a shared purpose: ensuring the long-term sustainability and future of the sector.
Our journey has always been guided by one conviction: milk is an essential food, playing an important role in nutrition and deeply connected to people, communities and the territories where it is produced.
Who we are today
Today, Grupo Lactogal is the leading dairy group in the Iberian Peninsula, playing a central role in connecting milk production, industrial processing and the markets we serve.
Each year, we add value to more than 1.2 billion litres of milk, work alongside around 1,800 dairy farmers and are supported by a team of approximately 2,600 employees. This scale reflects the strength of our business model and our ability to consistently generate value for both the sector and society.
Beyond our industrial footprint, we act as the link between origin and market, ensuring that the milk produced is sustainably valued through the right combination of products, categories, brands and markets.
What drives us
Milk is at the heart of everything we do.
It is part of our DNA and shapes the way we operate: with responsibility towards our origins, the agility to respond to changing markets, a long-term vision and a commitment to creating sustainable value.
Celebrating our 30th anniversary
Celebrating our 30th anniversary means recognising how far we have come while reaffirming the future we want to build.
In a sector that continues to evolve, shaped by new demands and emerging challenges, we remain committed to innovation, sustainability and to reinforcing the value of milk as an essential food.
This is a year of celebration, but also an opportunity to reflect on the role we want to continue playing in the development of the dairy sector.
Throughout the year, we are marking this milestone through a range of initiatives that reflect both our contribution to the sector and the people who have made this journey possible.
