New Plant Construction: Big Cheese Projects Heating Up
The latest in a long line of the world's largest cheese plants is up and running in Clovis, N.M., Leprino Foods is making major upgrades at several of its plants, and Hilmar Cheese is about to break ground at a greenfield site in the Texas panhandle. Cheese is not the only game in town when it comes to construction projects this year, but it seems to be the driver of the most substantial projects.
In upstate New York, Stueben Foods has begun a major expansion that will allow it to increase production of Horizon Organic milk. In New Hampshire Stonyfield Farms is doubling the capacity of its production facility to keep up with its double-digit annual growth.
