Weve grown a bit since then. Today, Leprino is the worlds largest manufacturer of mozzarella and lactose, and a leading producer of whey protein. Still owned by the Leprino family, our sights are set to be the Worlds Best Dairy Food and Ingredient Company. From a small corner grocery store we have grown to over 5,500 employees throughout the globe. Will you join us on our journey?
