Groupe Danone Company Profile
You say Danone, I say Dannon; let's call the whole thing one of the largest dairy food and water producers in the world. Groupe Danone is a global leader in cultured dairy products (including yogurt, cheese, and dairy desserts). The company offers dozens of regional yogurt brands, including the US's Dannon, Activia, and organic yogurt Stonyfield Farm. The company's Evian, Volvic, Aqua, and other water brands make it #2 worldwide in bottled water (behind world leader Nestlé). Danone became a player in the baby-food sector with its 2007 purchase of Royal Numico. The company is organized around its core activities: fresh dairy products, water, baby nutrition, and medical nutrition.
