Canadian dairy manufacturer operating 20+ facilities across multiple brands
Lactalis Canada operates a large-scale dairy manufacturing business with 30+ sites and a workforce managing multiple owned brands across cheese, yogurt, and milk categories. The tech stack reflects a traditional manufacturing footprint—SAP ECC for enterprise resource planning, Excel-heavy finance workflows, and Power BI for analytics—with recent AWS Database Migration Service adoption suggesting infrastructure modernization. Active hiring across engineering, operations, and finance, combined with projects spanning order-to-cash optimization, production-line efficiency, and ISO 45001 safety compliance, indicates internal operational scaling rather than product innovation.
