Description of the company

Grupo Danone S.A. is a multinational company that operates in the agri-food sector in Spain, although it has its headquarters in Paris, with activities focused on the production of dairy products, bottled water and yogurt.

It was founded in 1919 in Barcelona, Spain, by Isaac Carasso, which began as an artisan yogurt factory, naming it Danone after the first son of the Carasso family, Danon, selling its products mainly in stationery stores, hospitals and pharmacies, moving to France in 1929, although during the Second World War they had to move to New York to protect themselves from the persecution of Jews, returning to Paris in 1951.

It merged with Gervais in 1953, a renowned cheese producer, and expanded to Barcelona, its hometown, Asturias, Madrid, Tenerife and Valencia, in addition to opening stores in Latin America in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, Mexico, Chile and Venezuela under the Parmalat brand.

It changed its name to Grupo Danone in 1994, buying in 1996 in Mexico a water bottling company, for a while they experimented with the market of sauces, beer and glass packaging, but sold part of those operating lines, staying with three main activities, generating in 2017 about 28 million dollars in sales.
