DALLAS, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ISN, the global leader in contractor and supplier information management services, announced Lactalis North America, a leading global dairy company, expanded its use of ISNetworld to enhance contractor oversight across United States (US) operations. ISN will help support additional Lactalis North America sites in coordinating contractor relationships and aligning qualification processes.
“Following the acquisition of additional sites, it was important for Lactalis North America to align contractor management practices across all US operations,” said Lee DeYoung, Director of Health and Safety at Lactalis US. “ISNetworld’s scalability helps improve consistency and speed of contractor qualification and oversight as the company continues to grow.”
How Is Lactalis North America Expanding Contractor Management Across Operations?
Headquartered in Laval, France, Lactalis is one of the world’s largest dairy companies, with a significant footprint throughout North America. Lactalis US implemented ISNetworld in 2022 and has since expanded use of the platform to key divisions such as Lactalis US Yogurt, Lactalis American Group, Lactalis and Heritage Dairy.
In 2026, Lactalis US deployed ISNetworld to newly acquired locations, including sites in Tennessee, Michigan, and Minnesota, building on the 11 ISNetworld sites already managed. The expansion brings more than 260 additional contractor customers into the platform to help expedite qualification processes and increase visibility and consistency.
To continue to enhance safety across operations, Lactalis North America is leveraging ISNetworld tools and services such as:
- CultureSight® assessment to gather insights from employees and contractors to help understand the perception of safety across operations
- Online Training tool to deliver individual worker training competency verification
- Training Qualifications to help ensure workers are certified to perform tasks onsite
“Maintaining consistent safety and qualification standards across regional sites is critical and increasingly complex,” said Kim Holly, Chief Business Development Officer at ISN. “Expanding its use of ISNetworld helps Lactalis take a proactive approach to strengthening consistency and accountability across operations, supporting the high standards behind its products.”
