The French dairy giant has in recent years been growing its business in the United States, which is now its second-largest market, Bloomberg reported.
France's Groupe Lactalis expects to expand its Chicago presence following its deal to acquire Kraft's cheese brands in 2020. The sale was completed in 2021, Dairy Foods reported.
According to Bloomberg, Groupe Lactalis plans to hire almost 100 people at Chicago over the next year, stated Peter Cotter, CEO of Lactalis Heritage Dairy — the business that runs the natural cheese brands bought from Kraft.
