Founded in 1954 by the Saputo family in Montréal, Québec, Saputo Inc. began life with modest resources with just a $500 investment in equipment and a bicycle to deliver the products. Over the decades, Saputo has grown into one of the top ten global dairy processors, with leading market positions in Canada, the USA, Australia, Argentina, and the United Kingdom.
Saputo produces a wide array of dairy products, including cheese, fluid milk, extended shelf-life milk and cream products under various brands including Dairyland and Armstrong Cheese. Some Armstrong Cheese, at least, is made at their plant in Abbotsford, B.C. Their swirls cheese sticks carry a ‘Made in the USA’ label, so make sure to check the label. Many Saputo products are made in Canada, while others are made in the locations listed above.
With its headquarters located in Montréal, Quebec, Saputo remains a Canadian-owned company.
