Danone Yogurt

Danone, known as Dannon in the United States, is one of the world's most iconic dairy brands with a history spanning over a century. The brand's journey began in 1919 in Barcelona, Spain, where Isaac Carasso started producing yogurt to help children suffering from digestive issues. He named the brand after his son Daniel, whose nickname was 'Danon'.

In 1929, the company moved its headquarters to France, and during World War II, Daniel Carasso expanded the brand to the United States. To make the name sound more American, it was changed to Dannon in the U.S. market. Today, Danone is a global leader in the food industry, specializing not only in dairy but also in plant-based products, bottled water, and specialized nutrition.

The brand is owned by Danone S.A., a French multinational corporation headquartered in Paris. With operations in over 120 markets, Danone manufactures its products locally in numerous countries to ensure freshness and support regional economies. Its portfolio includes famous names like Activia, Evian, and Alpro, maintaining a strong commitment to health-focused food innovation.
