==== Borden's Beginnings ==== | |||
The Borden Company was founded by Gail Borden, Jr., a philanthropist, businessman and inventor who invented the process of condensed milk. | |||
==History== | |||
Despite the apparent usefulness of condensed milk, the U.S. Patent office rejected Borden's patent application three times. It was finally accepted on August 19, 1856, after Robert McFarlane, the editor of Scientific American, and John H. Currie, head of a research laboratory, convinced the commissioner of patents of the value of condensed milk. Soon afterward, Borden started a small processing operation near a dairy farm in Wolcottville, Connecticut, and opened a sales office in New York City. | |||
Originally part of the ], the dairy subsidiary was sold in September 1997 to Southern Foods, which was controlled by the Mid-America Dairymen, now the ] (DFA). Southern Foods was subsequently acquired by Suiza Foods, now ].<ref>{{Cite news| title = Two Big Dairy Cos.

The company Borden founded, New York Condensed Milk Company, became the first dairy farm to develop a commercial method of condensing milk, which made it easy to transport wholesome, nutritious and, most importantly, safe milk to countries in need. During the U.S. Civil War, Borden’s company was able to prosper by selling its condensed milk to the Union Army. This good fortune opened up many other avenues for Borden, and it wasn’t long before Borden became a sizeable corporation operating in multiple areas of business. | |||
In 2013, Borden Dairy was spun off by ] into a private company called Laguna Dairy, S.A. de C.V.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.foodbusinessnews.net/articles/9597-investment-firm-acquires-borden-dairy|title=Investment firm acquires Borden Dairy|access-date=2018-12-03|language=en}}</ref> In 2017, ] became the majority owner of the Borden dairy business,<ref>{{Cite web| last = dairyreporter.com| title = Borden Dairy taken over by ACON investment company| work = dairyreporter.com| date = July 11, 2017| accessdate = 2018-07-22| url = https://www.dairyreporter.com/Article/2017/07/12/Borden-Dairy-taken-over-by-ACON-investment-company}}</ref> with Laguna Dairy retaining a substantial equity. | |||
In 1875, Borden began selling fluid milk to consumers. Ten years later, the company became the first dairy farm to begin distributing its milk in glass bottles. Then, in 1892, Borden began selling evaporated milk. And in 1895, Borden expanded to Canada. | |||

Borden Dairy Company is an American dairy processor and distributor headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Established in 2009, the company is a successor to the original Borden Company established in 1857 by Gail Borden. The company is a former subsidiary of Dean Foods.
On January 5, 2020, Borden Dairy Company filed for bankruptcy. "Despite our numerous achievements during the past 18 months, the company continues to be impacted by the rising cost of raw milk and market challenges facing the dairy industry," said CEO Tony Sarsam in a statement. Borden's filing says the company plans to stay in business during the bankruptcy process.
History
Originally part of the Borden Company, the dairy subsidiary was sold in September 1997 to Southern Foods, which was controlled by the Mid-America Dairymen, now the Dairy Farmers of America (DFA). Southern Foods was subsequently acquired by Suiza Foods, now Dean Foods. The DFA retains ownership of Borden cheese.
In 2009, Grupo Lala of Mexico acquired National Dairy from DFA and began conducting US operations as Borden Dairy Company.
In 2013, Borden Dairy was spun off by Grupo Lala into a private company called Laguna Dairy, S.A. de C.V. In 2017, ACON Investments became the majority owner of the Borden dairy business, with Laguna Dairy retaining a substantial equity.
On January 5, 2020, Borden Dairy Company and sixteen affiliated companies filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware citing declining sales. In his affidavit, Jason Monaco, the company's CFO, mentions that the company intends to reorganize and not liquidate its operations. He describes a difficult environment for milk producers that includes decreasing demand for milk, increased competition with non-dairy alternatives, the growth of discount grocery retailers, and the growth of private label alternatives.
In June 2020, it was announced that New Dairy Opco LLC had won the auction for most of Borden's assets, becoming the company's new owner. New Dairy Opco was led by a team composed of the former CEO of Dean Foods, Gregg Engles, and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR). At the time of the bankruptcy, Borden employed 3,300 workers.
Elsie the Cow
Elsie the Cow is Borden Dairy Company's mascot ("spokescow") that is used for the label on their products. Elsie was first introduced in 1936, appearing as one of four cartoon cows (with Mrs. Blossom, Bessie and Clara) in a series of advertisements that ran in medical journals. Elsie was created by a team that was led by advertising marketer David William Reid. In 1940, Reid also created for Elsie a fictional cartoon mate, Elmer the Bull, who was lent to Borden's then-chemical division as the mascot for Elmer's Glue. The pair was given calves Beulah and Beauregard in 1948, and twins Larabee and Lobelia in 1957.
In 2000, Advertising Age recognized Elsie the Cow as one of the top 10 advertising icons of all time.
Milk Products, LLC licenses the Borden name and Elsie the Cow trademark from Borden, Inc.'s successor company, Hexion Specialty Chemicals.
