Nutri

What Nutri does

Nutri, operating under the legal entity Lácteos San Antonio C.A., is a privately held Ecuadorian dairy and food products company founded in 1975 and headquartered in Cuenca, Ecuador. The company manufactures and distributes a diversified portfolio across seven core categories — fresh and powdered milk (Leches), cheese (Quesos), yogurt, flavored milk, fruit nectars, oat-based beverages, and culinary products — serving primarily Ecuadorian households through retail and grocery channels across the country. Production is anchored at a single manufacturing complex in Cuenca's industrial park, which uses aseptic packaging technology, 1,200 installed solar panels, and Cuenca's first solar thermal plant, with reported daily throughput of 300,000 liters of milk.

The company's go-to-market is a channel-partner model: Nutri sells through supermarkets, grocery stores, and local shops nationwide via an optimized distribution fleet, while sourcing raw milk daily from a network of more than 15,000 small and medium Ecuadorian dairy producers. Revenue is generated through transactional product sales across multiple price-point SKUs in 1-liter carton and other recyclable formats, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The brand is supported by an active social media presence (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn) and a recipe/content marketing effort, plus a digital promotional campaign in partnership with the Deuna mobile app.

Nutri operates as a bootstrapped, founder/owner-controlled business with no disclosed institutional or PE/VC ownership. The company employs 251–500 people, holds FSSC 22000 v6.0 certification, and has been publicly projecting approximately $100 million in sales as a growth trajectory anchor. Sustainability positioning (solar energy, 100% recyclable packaging, CO2 reduction of 600+ tons/year) is a deliberate brand differentiator within the Ecuadorian consumer packaged goods market.
