Master cheesemaker Giuseppe Saputo, his son Lino Saputo and family immigrated to Montreal from Montelepre, Italy, in the early 1950s. In September 1954, Lino convinced his father to start his own business. Using $500 to buy some basic equipment and a bicycle for deliveries, the Saputo family founded a cheesemaking company bearing its name. In 1957, Saputo's first sizable production facility was built in Montreal's Saint-Michel neighbourhood. Saputo went through considerable growth in the 1960s and 1970s as demand for its products increased. It became Canada's largest producer of mozzarella in the 1980s.{{Cite web |title=Saputo History {{!}} Saputo |url=http://www.saputo.com/en/Our-Company/History-Overview |access-date=June 9, 2017 |publisher=saputo.com |archive-date=June 10, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170610094613/http://www.saputo.com/en/Our-Company/History-Overview |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |title=Cercle des Grands entrepreneurs du Québec |url=https://cercledesgrandsentrepreneurs.com/en/lino-saputo/an_entrepreneur.html |access-date=December 2, 2021 |website=cercledesgrandsentrepreneurs.com |archive-date=December 2, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211202150823/https://cercledesgrandsentrepreneurs.com/en/lino-saputo/an_entrepreneur.html |url-status=live }}

In 1988, Saputo expanded to the United States by acquiring two cheese plants. In the 1990s, the company made several acquisitions to diversify its product offering and geographic reach. In 1997, it became a publicly traded company and tripled in size following the acquisition of Stella Foods in the US.

In 2001, Saputo acquired Dairyworld Foods, the production and marketing arm of Agrifoods International Cooperative Ltd, which included the Dairyland milk and Armstrong cheese brands, for C$407 million.{{Cite news |date=December 18, 2000 |title=Saputo Inc. spends $407 million for Dairyworld Foods |publisher=CBC News |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/saputo-inc-spends-407-million-for-dairyworld-foods-1.253378 |access-date=March 10, 2011 |archive-date=November 8, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121108230222/http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/story/2000/12/18/saputo001218.html |url-status=live }} Agrifoods International was itself the result of a series of mergers between dairy cooperatives in Western Canada in the 1990s. Armstrong Cheese was formerly an independent cheese maker in Armstrong, British Columbia, which was acquired by Dairyworld in 1997. After Saputo obtained the brand, it closed the plant in Armstrong.{{citation needed|date=June 2017}}
