It was formally founded on September 8, 1992, in Campos Belos and subsequently opened its operations on September 24, 1993, in Patos de Minas. The establishment of Cemil was marked by the collaboration of various cooperatives with the shared goal of enhancing the marketing and production of milk, thereby contributing significantly to the sustainability and growth of dairy production in Brazil.
