Manager I, Materials at Leprino Foods Company Tracy, CA 95376
OverviewLeprino Foods' history dates to over 65 years ago, when the Leprino family first started making small batches of mozzarella for local markets and eateries in Denver.
We've grown a bit since then.
Today, we are the largest manufacturer of mozzarella and lactose in the world, and a leading producer of whey protein.
Still owned by the Leprino family, we've set our sights to become the World's Best Dairy Food and Ingredient Company.
