Jean Michel Besnier Net Worth

Through the years, Besnier merged with many dairy companies like Bridel and Sorrento, and in 1999, Besnier Group became Lactalis Group. Gradually, the dairy company has grown into world’s largest dairy products company, and it has become a powerhouse operating in over 50 sites with more than 52,000 employees worldwide, holding brands such as Valmont, Sorrento, Président, Société, Rachel’s Organic, and Bridel. Besnier’s solid financials were brought to light when the siblings, through another holding, purchased a controlling stake of the Italian milk producer Parmalat publicly in 2011, saving it from bankruptcy. Until then, they were maintaining a low profile owning 100% of the family company Lactalis.
