(popularly known as “Dos Pinos”) was founded in 1947 by a group of 25 dairy farmers from Costa Rica [3] seeking to unite in order to have a stable plant through which they could sell their milk due to the issues with the fluctuation of demand on a product that is perishable.

[3] In 1985 Dos Pinos opened its dairy aseptic filling plant using Tetra Brik packaging which allowed it to introduce longer lasting milk into the market.

[6] In 2007 it opened its operations in Guatemala by building a large distribution center and setting aside space for a future processing plant.

[8] In August 2015 Dos Pinos acquired the industrial products company “La Completa” in Chontales, Nicaragua in order to boost its presence in that country.

[9] In September 2016 Dos Pinos diversified its operations with the acquisition of the “Gallito” candy confectionary subsidiary from Mondelez International by $6.7 million dollars.
