About

The Bogotá-headquartered Alpina Productos Alimenticios is the third largest dairy producer in Colombia, with annual revenues of over $700m. Operating across Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and the United States, the company produces beverages, milk, baby food, desserts, cheeses, cream, butter, and finesse products. In recent years the company’s strategy has been aimed towards expanding its share of the regional soft drinks market, while remaining greatly focused on sustainability and social awareness. As a result, Alpina has recently managed to outperformed competitors in the market while significantly reducing its carbon footprint and undertaking ambitious programmes to support local communities. The highly acclaimed legal department of the company has been active in leading Alpina’s national expansion by supporting the launch of new products, such as Café Latte Juan Valdez Alpina and by signing contract management agreements, propelling expansion efforts in the Colombian north coast. Its rapid response times in addressing ongoing legal and compliance challenges faced by Alpina’s production lines has also been noteworthy, alongside its superior skills in handling intellectual property, regulatory and general corporate issues. Some standout lawyers from the team include legal director and general secretary Claudia Caballero, legal manager Ana Maria Duque Campuzano and legal coordinator Carolina Pinzon Ayala.
