Colun is much more than a dairy brand: it's a family of over 740 producers who have been working together in southern Chile since 1949. Between La Unión, Río Bueno, Paillaco, and Futrono, these farmers keep alive a tradition passed down from generation to generation.
What makes this cooperative unique is its "one member, one vote" model, where every producer, regardless of size, has an equal voice. This philosophy is reflected in the special care they give their animals, which graze freely, producing exceptional milk that is processed fresh daily at their local facilities.
Their commitment to the environment is part of their identity: by producing and processing milk at its source, they significantly reduce their carbon footprint. Furthermore, their producers practice sustainable livestock farming, protecting natural pastures and water resources, always keeping future generations in mind.
Colun's commitment goes beyond making good products: they generate more than 2,200 direct jobs and support the development of small producers through consulting and continuous improvement programs. It's a virtuous cycle where community well-being and environmental stewardship go hand in hand with the production of top-quality dairy products.
