Canada ·
Saputo is a Canadian dairy processor founded in 1954. The group buys milk and turns it into cheese, fluid milk, extended shelf-life milk and cream products, cultured products and industrial dairy ingredients. It sells products under its own brands and also makes products labelled under the brand names of its retail and foodservice customers, so much of what it produces reaches shoppers without the Saputo name on the pack.
For dairy farms, Saputo is a milk buyer: milk is collected from farms in each region and processed at the group's plants into finished and industrial products. Its customers are retailers, foodservice operators and industrial food makers. Manufacturers can buy dairy ingredients and industrial cheese with defined technical properties, such as melt, stretch, moisture and format, which decide how a cheese behaves on a pizza or inside a ready meal.
