We've grown a bit since then. Today, Leprino is the world's largest manufacturer of mozzarella and lactose, and a leading producer of whey protein. Still owned by Jim and the Leprino family, our sights are set to be the "World's Best Dairy Food and Ingredient Company". To help us achieve that bold vision, we're looking for our secret ingredient: You. A motivated team member who is the best at what you do.
