Groupe Lactalis
 PROFILE
At least when Groupe Lactalis (formerly Compagnie LaitiEre Besnier) takes your milk money, you get something in return. The dairy company sells milk, cheese, butter, and cream in more than 140 countries worldwide. Its flagship brand, Président, is available in more than 120 countries; other top brands include Société Roquefort, Bridel, Sorrento, Rondelé, and Le Châtelain. Lactalis has nearly 70 plants in France and about a dozen in other countries. While the company is France's largest dairy exporter, about 60% of sales are domestic. The family-owned company was founded in 1933 by André Besnier.
