达能集团，总部设立于法国巴黎，全球拥有近9万员工，是世界著名的食品和饮料集团之一 。达能集团历史悠久，规模强大，位列世界500强，业务遍及全世界120多个国家。鲜乳制品和饮料作为达能的两大主要产品，在全球市场销量排名均名列前茅。
　　 达能集团创建于1966年，从九十年代起开始实施积极的业务国际化战略，在短短近四十年的时间成为世界食品行业的巨人，并拥有多个国际品牌，例如： DANONE（达能）、EVIAN（依云）等。
　　 作为世界上人口最多的国家，中国理所当然地成为了达能集团关注的目标，多年来达能一直致力于中国市场的发展。自上世纪80年代末进入中国市场以来，达能集团开始在发展策略中极为重要的市场的中国投资设厂，广泛开展其在中国的生产和业务。现时达能集团在中国的业务主要有酸奶及饮料等，在中国拥有近70家工厂（包括乐百氏、娃哈哈、益力等），分别位于上海、广州、深圳等地，从事相关产品的生产。其产品除本销外，还出口到世界各国。
　　 随着中国加入WTO和近年来中国业务市场的迅速发展，达能于2006年4月将亚太地区总部迁至上海，籍此契机进一步加大对中国市场的投资，我们对达能的未来充满信心。
