 COLUN was founded in 1949 by a group of visionary farmers of La
Union, in the middle of the dairy country in southern Chile.
The objective was to create a cooperative to process and market
their milk and provide them with farm supplies and services.
Since its creation, it has maintained a permanent preoccupation for
the quality of its products, characteristic that is recognized by
Chilean consumers.
At present, COLUN is the main cheese, sweet whey powder and
caramelized milk producer in Chile, and maintains important market
shares in UHT milk and butter.
The total milk collection in different plants in the country has
grown 73% in the last ten years. COLUN has, in the same period,
more than doubled its milk collection with an average growth of
over 7% annually. Today, COLUN receives over 400 million liters of
milk a year.
This strong growth has placed COLUN as the second largest dairy
company in Chile operating the largest milk processing plant of the
country.
COLUN produces around 230 different products, in different
presentation formats being the following main groups:
Cheese (Gouda, Edam and Parmesan)
Milk Powder (Whole and Skim Milk)
Sweet Whey Powder
Butter
Caramelized Milk (Dulce de leche)
UHT Products (Plain Milk, Flavored Milk, Cream juices)

Cheese, Sweet Whey Powder, Butter and Caramelized Milk.
