Agropur Cooperative announces the acquisition of M. Larivée International inc. (MLI), a trading house specializing in dairy products and food ingredients.
"We are very pleased with this acquisition," said Serge Riendeau, Chairman of Agropur. "It will allow us, as a first step, to recreate the Agropur Export Group and develop international markets with our own products."
"The acquisition of MLI goes hand in hand with our desire to develop the export market. MLI's expertise will see us significantly accelerate our development as well as access very promising markets," said Robert Coallier, CEO of Agropur.
MLI has employees in Canada and the United States, including owner Marcel Larivée. He will manage the new Agropur Export Group that will be integrated to Agropur's Cheese and Ingredients Division.
