To meet the demand for coffee extracts, the company has purchased a multi-million dollar custom state-of-the-art extraction system. The addition of this equipment substantially increases volume capacity and gives Autocrat, America's leading producer of coffee ingredients, a continued advantage in the flavored dairy beverages category that is expected to reach $3 billion by 2006.
"We purchased this equipment in response to the demand for our coffee based products," said Richard M. Field, Jr., Chairman/President. "Our goal with this manufacturing expansion is to continue delivering exceptional quality products that will meet the increasing demands of our customers current and future needs."
