Agropur is one of the nations largest cheese and dairy manufacturer, and has it’s headquarters in Appleton, Wisconsin. The have production facilities nationwide, and we were able to photograph four different manufacturing locations over the course of our two-day commercial photography session. All of the locations we visited and documented are within an hour or so radius of their headquarters in Central Wisconsin. During our Wisconsin manufacturing and industrial photography session we captured both the facilities and the testing labs.

Our goal was to capture the variety of jobs and tasks within their production that focus on sustainability for their annual Environmental, Social and Governance Report. They are a very ethical and sustainable company, and partner with all of their production facilities to make sure they maintain the highest standards.

This is what Agropur’s CEO has to say in their 2022 annual ESG Report: “Our members, who are also producers, our customers and our partners are all engaged in their own efforts to improve their environmental performance. We are committed to helping them achieve their ambitions. As the largest member-owned dairy processor in Canada, we are in a unique position to support the promising initiatives they are implementing on their farms. Agropur is also working closely with the farmers who supply our milk in the United States to help them make progress toward sustainability. In addition, the move towards sustainable development has social and governance dimensions. In this respect, we have a responsibility to ensure that our workplaces are safe and welcoming and to promote equity, diversity and inclusion. Agropur also gives back to its communities and local and national organizations through its donations and sponsorships program.”

A special thank you to the Marketing Team who provided art direction, coordination, and oversight, as well as full access to the facilities we captured. Wisconsin manufacturing and industrial photography is hard work, but really rewarding to see the final results for this excellent cooperative company.
