history
The LRG Groupe goes back to the Laiteries Genevoises Réunies founded in 1911 by the merger of two cooperative milk centers in Carouge . This became the LRG in 1923 after the catchment area was extended beyond the canton of Geneva to the canton of Vaud. In 1926, activities were expanded to include charcuterie production .
From the second half of the 1960s, the group began to diversify its activities further and to distribute production to different plants. In 1982 LRG relocated the company headquarters to Plan-les-Ouates. In 1998 the group of companies was transformed into a group with LRG Groupe SA as the parent company. Associated with this was the focus of the individual subsidiaries on their specialty. As a result, the company , which was previously strongly anchored in French-speaking Switzerland , expanded through several acquisitions in German-speaking Switzerland .
