Lactalis, Groupe in Packaged Food (World)

Lactalis has become one of the most acquisitive dairy producers over the 2007-2012 period. It moved to third position in global dairy following the acquisition of Parmalat in 2011. The company has continued on the acquisition trail in 2012 with two further European purchases. This however has left it with a fragmented operation that sees a number of "orphan brands" in disparate markets. A comprehensive global strategy will be needed to take advantage of dynamic growth in emerging markets.
