KEY FACTS

Leprino Foods’ international sales have more than doubled over the past two years, and the Asia-Pacific market has played a significant role in the rapid expansion of Leprino Foods’ international growth. Leprino Foods has been selling to the Asia-Pacific market for over 20 years.
Sales are driven by the increased consumption of cheese as well as other dairy ingredients, such as whey and lactose that are used in confections, protein drinks, infant formula and more.
Leprino Foods is an international company headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The company has 10 production facilities in North America and two through a joint venture in the U.K. that support global sales to over 40 countries.
