SanCor is one of the leading dairy producers in Argentina (along with competitor La Serenísima). It holds one fifth of the total production in the country, and 90% of the Argentine exports of dairy products. It is a large cooperative made up many smaller ones, based on the Argentine "central milk basin" around the border between the provinces of Santa Fe and Córdoba.
SanCor produces milk, powdered milk, cream, cheeses, butter dulce de leche (milk caramel) which are sold under various brand names: SanCor, San Regim, Santa Brígida, Angelita, Granja Blanca and Chelita.
After a long financial crisis, which forced the company to sell several plants and brands, and losing 3,200 employees, SanCor is now producing 10% of its 2015 output.[1][2][3] It processes 500,000 liters (130,000 U.S. gal) of milk a month.[2]
