French group Lactalis closes two factories in Romania

French multinational dairy products corporation Lactalis announced that it would close two of its dairies in Romania, in Floreni and Vatra Dornei, as the group concentrates local activities.

But the company assured that the collection of milk in the respective regions would continue, and the processing will be relocated to other factories the group owns in the country.

The LaDorna brand and the Dorna Lactate company (that operated the two factories) continue their activity in Romania, and the LaDorna dairy portfolio will be produced in the other Romanian factories of the group.

“This measure is meant to ensure the continuation of the production process and investments in the development of the LaDorna portfolio with strict compliance with the performance and safety requirements of the Lactalis Group,” said Giampaolo Manzonetto, general manager of Lactalis Romania.

Lactalis is the biggest dairy group in Romania. Besides Dorna Lactate, the group also owns local companies Albalact, Covalact, Raraul and Lactate Harghita.
