Our story began in Canada in 1954, when the Saputo family's hard work and dedication created a thriving dairy business.

More than 65 years later, our roots in this country remain strong with our Corporate Headquarters in Montréal.

Today, we are a leading cheese manufacturer and fluid milk and cream processor in Canada with well-loved brands, such as Saputo, Alexis de Portneuf, Armstrong, Baxter, Dairyland, Joyya, Milk2Go, Milk2Go Sport, Neilson, Nutrilait, Scotsburn* and Woolwich Goat Dairy.

Thanks to our national footprint, we're proud to bring our best to our customers and consumers, and have plenty of opportunities for our employees to grow in their own way.

And we do it while also striving to build a healthier future for our people and the communities where we operate, guided by our values and the Saputo Promise.
