Alpura is a Mexican dairy product company founded in 1973, based in Mexico City.[2] Alpura products are sold in 27 states in Mexico and exported to the United States.[3]

## History

[edit]

Alpura was founded in 1973 by a group of dairy producers from various parts of Mexico.[1] They created the Asociación Nacional de Productores de Leche Pura S.A. de C.V or Alpura with the goal of producing fresh milk across Mexico, the first company to do so. At the time, powdered milk was more affordable, and initially this posed as a challenge to Alpura.

Alpura has 254 shareholders, 142 farmers and 140,000 cows.[1] They process 2 million liters of milk per day and offer more than 100 products. The company distributes milk to supermarkets in Mexico within 24 hours of milking.[4] Alpura has 15 distribution centers and 60 distributors spaced throughout the country.[5]

## Alpura Group

Alpura has over 142 ranch properties throughout Mexico.Their main properties are located in Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Estado de México, Querétaro and Tlaxcala. In the Alpura group, there are 5,067 employees, around 4,350 farmers and 2,320 distributors. All the cows are of the Holstein breed. During the milking process, the cows and the milk are not touched by the workers.[6]
