Group Companies

Founded in 1996 by the cooperatives Agros, Proleite, and Lacticoop, Lactogal maintains a deep connection to national production and plays a central role in the milk sector in Portugal.

We believe in milk as an essential food for a balanced, safe, and quality diet. It is with this purpose that we work daily: to create value that returns to the origin, supporting producers, reinforcing the sustainability of local communities, and promoting territorial cohesion.

Guided by values of Simplicity, Determination, and Commitment, Lactogal combines responsibility, innovation, and quality, bringing safe and authentic products to the table, with 100% Portuguese DNA, and contributing to the well-being of people and the affirmation of the Portuguese dairy sector in Portugal and the world.

Founded in 1992, Pronicol arises from the Azorean dairy tradition and the experience of Unicol, combining the island identity with the solidity of the Lactogal Group.

Produced in natural pastures, in an environment marked by open-air grazing, Azores milk stands out for its authenticity and characteristic flavor. It is on the islands of Terceira and Graciosa that this connection to the territory takes shape.

Through the brand Milhafre dos Açores, Ilha Branca, and Castelinhos, Pronicol develops milk, cheese, and butter with high rigor, respecting nature, animal welfare, and the heritage that defines Azorean dairy products.

At Etanor/Penha, brands such as Pleno, Fresky, and the spring water Serra da Penha come to life, symbols of freshness and authenticity. Etanor/Penha produces adapted and differentiated solutions, reflecting the commitment to differentiation and the trust that consumers recognize in its beverages.
