     The Joint-Stock Company «JLC» is an enterprise of the transnational concern «JLC Group». At present «JLC» JSC is the largest dairy processing plant in the Republic of Moldova, as well as a recognized dairy products leader on the Moldovan market.

     The first production department of the milk processing plant from Chisinau was created in 1944 and it was situated on 160, Frunze str. (Columna str. now). The plant was producing butter and sour cream only at that moment. Later due to the carried out technical equipment it was extended the range of dairy products and was significantly increased the amount of the manufactured milk products. Initially the dairy products were destined for the Chisinau city area only. However the plant gradually gained the status of a republican milk factory and became the largest dairy processing plant in the former MSSR (Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic). In 1970 on the basis of the Chisinau milk plant it was created the «МОЛОКО» («Moloco») Association of Chisinau, which detained a network of dairy processing factories situated in the central part of the Republic at that moment. However, the plant did not possess sufficient area for increasing its producing capacity. This fact was determined by the fast growth of the milk amount that had to be processed and the amount of the milk products that had to be manufactured. Thus, in 1978 it was opened a new factory with a producing capacity of 500 tons of milk per day in the industrial area of the Botanica sector in Chisinau. In 1992 the «МОЛОКО» («Moloco») Association of Chisinau was renamed into the Association «LAPTE». On July 12, 2004 on the basis of the Association «LAPTE» it was founded the «JLC» Company via the process of privatization.
