Saputo Inc.

Saputo Inc. is a Montreal-based Canadian dairy company founded in 1954 by the Saputo family. The firm, one of the top ten dairy processors in the world, produces, markets, and distributes a wide array of dairy products, including cheese, fluid milk, extended shelf-life milk and cream products, cultured products and dairy ingredients. After growing in its home region of Quebec, it has expanded predominantly through mergers and acquisitions. Its products are sold in over 60 countries worldwide.

Outside of Canada, Saputo operates in the United States, Argentina, Australia and the United Kingdom. It operated in Wales and Germany from 2006 to 2013. Saputo is a leading dairy processor in Canada, and the top dairy processor in Australia and the second largest in Argentina. In the US, it ranks among the top three cheese producers and is one of the largest producers of extended-shelf-life and cultured dairy products.[citation needed] About half of its revenues come from its United States operations. Saputo used to own the Canadian rights to Hostess Brands products, including the Twinkie.
