Founded more than a century and a half ago, Borden has undergone a recent transformation with new ownership, leadership, a focus on its people and an optimistic vision to reclaim its position as the undisputed leader in the dairy industry. The company has renewed its focus on service and is reintroducing its beloved Elsie the Cow to consumers this summer.

“We are honored to earn a spot on this year’s list of Most Reputable Companies and look forward to ranking even higher on the list as we continue to prioritize consumer needs and product innovation,” said Borden CEO Tony Sarsam , who brings more than three decades of experience building and maintaining reputable companies. “We know Americans have a lot of options for delicious and nutritious food and beverages, so consumer trust is something we’ll never take for granted.”
