Borden Dairy Company operates as a subsidiary of Grupo LALA. The company provides services to the following U.S. states: Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas, making their products available in selected local stores. In order to comprehend the nature of Borden Dairy’s products we must study its parent company, its suppliers, and analyze the distribution processes all the way to the hands of its final consumer.
Grupo LALA is a Mexican dairy company. It expanded into the United States in 2008 acquiring a manufacturing plant in Omaha, Nebraska and in 2009 LALA acquired National Dairy, Farmland Dairies and Promised Land.
