To choose our cooperative and its brands
Is to help promote, throughout France, a model of family farming
which respects people, the planet and its animals
for the best of our dairy regions.
An alternative model which leaves nobody on the wayside
Our shareholders, you meet them everyday in the French countryside. They are the 17,000 Sodiaal farmers. They are not just milk producers, they are the owners of the cooperative, of its brands* and of its transformation tools.
Our cooperative model
We protect our regions, our traditions and our family farming model
The plurality of our family-size farms reflects the diversity of the dairy regions within which they are situated. They produce 43 types of milk, from 15 breeds of cows as well as from goats and sheep. We collect milk in 73 regions including in difficult-to-reach areas. We own 70 manufacturing sites (dairies, butter and cheese factories) spread all over France.
Our regions
50 years of history
In fifty years, we have built the first French dairy cooperative to preserve what makes France an exceptional dairy country; its richness and the diversity of its family farming, its regions, its know-hows so that we can offer consumers the best of the French dairy regions.
