About the Company

Agropur

Cooperative dairy processor and ingredient supplier

Agropur is a dairy cooperative and one of the largest dairy processors in North America. It processes and sells a wide range of dairy products—milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream—and dairy ingredients like whey protein, serving both retail consumers and business customers who use its ingredients in their own products. Its vertically integrated model controls many steps from member dairy farms to final shelves, enabling efficiency across the supply chain. The company distributes profits to its farmer members, reflecting its cooperative structure, and operates in Canada, the United States, and internationally through exports. Unlike many competitors, Agropur combines a large, member-owned cooperative with a broad product lineup and extensive B2B and retail reach, supported by a fully integrated supply chain. Its goal is to provide dependable dairy products and ingredients to consumers and businesses while supporting its farmer members and maintaining scale and supply security.
