Laiterie Collet
Family-run dairy producer specializing in yogurts, cream desserts, and plant-based alternatives with 50+ years of expertise across three IFS-certified production sites.
Maison Collet is an innovative PME situated in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, specializing in the production of dairy and plant-based products. The company manufactures a wide range of products including stirred yogurts, Skyr, cream desserts, plant-based alternatives, and hyper-protein products for special medical purposes. With origins dating back to 1969 when Henri Collet began transforming milk from his farm, the company has evolved from a family operation into a modern production group while maintaining its traditional values.
The company operates three IFS-certified production facilities: Laiterie Collet (historical site in Renaison since 2009), Laiterie Baïko (Savoy dairy in Archamps, Haute-Savoie acquired in 2018), and Végétal&Santé (100% plant-based facility opened in 2019). Their production capabilities include ultra-fresh and ambient products, with specialization in protein-enriched dairy creams for medical purposes, fresh cheeses, and plant-based desserts based on coconut, almond, and oats.
Maison Collet is committed to sustainable practices and responsible sourcing, emphasizing local French agricultural partnerships with fair producer compensation. The company holds EcoVadis Silver Medal (2025) and is part of the Climate Business Convention. Products are manufactured without additives or preservatives, focusing on simple ingredient lists and authentic taste. The company serves multiple channels including own brands, private label distribution, collective catering, and international markets.
