GLORIA completes the whole system from the cows to the people, it has 3 major dairies in Peru: in the Southern area (Arequipa) with more than 100 milking cows, in the Northern area with 1000 milking cows and in the Tropics with 100 Gyr/Holstein cows adapted to the heat stress in that area.

GLORIA doesn’t only produce milk. It supplies the market with an extensive variety of dairy products such as: yogurt, different kinds of cheese, butter, UHT milk, non-lactose products, chocolate milk, creams, condensed milk, ice creams, juices and by-products of soy.
GLORIA also closely works together with the dairy producers and offers them a monthly report with news of the dairy sector and technologies. In addition, Gloria provides technical training and coaching for producers in the dairy farm called “Poronguito”. The training is offered by professionals working in the field of animal nutrition (roughages and concentrates), health (prevention and vaccination) and reproduction (AI). These experts are hired by GLORIA and support the company in the way that producers increase their knowledge, which diretly translates into better milk quality delivered to Gloria.
