Owned by investment fund MPEF II, SLCN has its own brand, Saïss Lait.
SLCN’s parent company has invested MAD100m (US$12m) in modernising the company’s production facilities and its fleet of road vehicles in order to meet
Yoplait’s requirements.
Its plant in Fès now stretches over two hectares and can process up to 100,000 litres of milk daily.
SLCN has set itself the objective of posting a turnover of MAD200m in 2014.
