History

Alpura was founded in 1970 by a group of dairy producers from various parts of Mexico.[1] They created the Asociación Nacional de Productores de Leche Pura S.A. de C.V or Alpura. Their main goal was to create a business plan to sell fresh milk all over Mexico.

The factory began construction in May 1971. Alpura was the first company to distribute milk all over the country. In Mexico, powder milk was cheaper which was initially a challenge for Alpura.

Alpura has 254 shareholders, 142 farmers and 140,000 cows.[1] They process 2 million liters of milk per day and offer more than 100 products. The company distributes milk to supermarkets in Mexico within 24 hours of milking.[4] Alpura has 15 distribution centers and 60 distributors spaced throughout the country.[5]

Alpura Group

Alpura has over 142 ranch properties throughout Mexico. Some of their main properties are located in Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Estado de México, Querétaro and Tlaxcala. In the Alpura group there are 5,067 employees: around 4,350 farmers and 2,320 distributors. All the cows are of the Holstein breed. In the milking process the cows and the milk are never touched by the workers.[6]

Products

Today, Alpura has five different dairy products with numerous brands under each type of product: milk, cream, yogurt, drinkable yogurt, and dessert cups.
