Grupo Lala lowers its sales in the United States by 8%

Grupo Lala recorded sales of 3,158 million pesos in the United States in 2021, which represented a reduction of 7.8% compared to 2020.

In the United States, LALA is the leading brand in the category of Drinkable Yoghurt for adults, with a significant presence in the main self-service stores in the country, while Promised Land and Skim Plus are super-premium milks with high recognition at the regional level and Skim Plus is the number one regional brand in the reduced-fat milk category.

There, production takes place in two production plants located in: Omaha, Nebraska, with facilities to produce Drinkable and Shaken Yoghurt, as well as Sour Cream; and Colorado Springs, Colorado, with installed capacities to produce shelf-stable milk and derived products such as cottage cheese, sour cream and dips.

As part of the strategy to streamline operations in the United States, Grupo Lala relocated the operations of the plant in Floresville, Texas in 2018, causing its closure, which has shown, together with a reengineering of the Promised Land portfolio, an agreement of maquila in Virginia to produce and distribute Promised Land products, in addition to improvements in the utilization of the Colorado plant, a recovery in the results of that region.
