Suiza Dairy Group
 PROFILE
Nourished by two of the nation's top fluid milk producers, Suiza Dairy Group has become one of the biggest cows in the dairy. The joint venture between Suiza Foods (which owns 66%) and Dairy Farmers of America (DFA, 34%) was formed in early 2000 when Suiza combined its domestic fluid milk operations with #3 fluid milk producer Southern Foods (50%-owned by DFA). Suiza Dairy Group operates more than 80 dairy processing plants that produce and distribute milk to 46 states. Its brands include Meadow Gold, Borden, Elsie, Foremost, Oak Farms, Country Fresh, Tuscan, Dairymens, Pet, Flav-o-Rich, Broughton, and Suiza Dairy. DFA has announced that it will sell its stake in the venture to Suiza Foods.
