Cheese and dairy manufacturer with four U.S. plants, brands Président and Galbani
Lactalis American Group operates a four-facility dairy manufacturing network producing cheese, spreads, and milk products under owned brands. The tech stack—SAP, Maximo, ControlLogix PLCs, and product-information systems (Salsify, Syndigo)—reflects a traditional manufacturing operations posture focused on compliance, asset uptime, and supply-chain coordination. Heavy manufacturing hiring (110 roles) paired with active projects around network optimization and equipment reliability signal an organization prioritizing production consistency and food-safety certification over digital transformation.
