History
Alpura was founded in 1973 by a group of dairy producers from various parts of Mexico. They created the Asociación Nacional de Productores de Leche Pura S.A. de C.V or Alpura with the goal of producing fresh milk across Mexico, the first company to do so. At the time, powdered milk was more affordable, and initially this posed as a challenge to Alpura.
Alpura has 254 shareholders, 142 farmers and 140,000 cows. They process 2 million liters of milk per day and offer more than 100 products. The company distributes milk to supermarkets in Mexico within 24 hours of milking.{{cite web |url=http://dairynutrient.wisc.edu/375/page.php?id=494|title=Alpura|language=Spanish|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100611160756/https://dairynutrient.wisc.edu/375/page.php?id=494|archivedate=June 11, 2010}} Alpura has 15 distribution centers and 60 distributors spaced throughout the country.{{cite web |title=Mision y Vision Alpura |trans-title=Alpura's mission and vision |url=http://www.alpura.com/quienes-somos/mision-vision |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100921020346/http://www.alpura.com/quienes-somos/mision-vision |archive-date=September 21, 2010 |accessdate=October 21, 2010 |language=Spanish}}
