CDI'S VISION:
To be the leading source of dairy nutrition for a healthy world.
We believe that:
We are stronger together - We do what is right - We take the lead - We work hard
​
CDI's Story: ​
Established in 1999 as the result of a successful merger of three prominent California dairy processing cooperatives, California Dairies, Inc.®, is a milk marketing and processing cooperative co-owned by nearly 400 dairy families.
​
Their independent, family-owned member dairies - of which we are one - are located throughout California’s rural landscape from San Diego County in the south to Sacramento County in the north. With 100 percent of their member dairies located within 100 miles of a CDI manufacturing facility or one of their customer’s creameries, all of their incoming fresh, raw milk is transformed into a variety of high-quality dairy products within 24 hours of arrival.
​
As a leading manufacturer of butter, milk powder, nutritional milk powder and fluid milk products, they only use high-quality, simple ingredients in their products. They make it their responsibility to profitably market, process and add value to our and other members’ milk while remaining committed to their core values in providing their consumers and customers with wholesome products.
​
At CDI, they believe that we are stronger together: on-farm and at the processing facility. Through the partnership with each of their member-owners, we can all work concertedly to ensure the production of safe, healthy and nutritious dairy products for our customers and consumers.
​
Today, they are the #1 Dairy Processing Cooperative in the Leading Dairy State.
