The story

In 1956, "the Cattle Breeding Team of Hohhot Huimin District" was established. In 1958, it was renamed as "the Cooperative Dairy Farm of Hohhot Huimin District", which was the predecessor of the Yili Group.

In February 1997, the Yili Group was formally established and put into production the first production line of Tetra Pak Milk.

In 2008, Yili Group was involved in a food safety scandal, the 2008 Chinese milk scandal. The scandal involved melamine-contaminated milk, baby milk powder, and other milk products. The incident caused 13,000 infants to have kidney stones in China and in neighboring countries and regions who consumed the contaminated milk products.

On 18 March 2019, the group signed an agreement to acquire 100% equity of New Zealand dairy co-operative Westland Milk Products – which was ratified by Westland shareholders on 4 July.

In December 2023, Yili Group established an internal militia unit reporting to the People's Liberation Army within the company.
