Emmi Roth acquires Great Lakes Cheese’s Seymour plant
The subsidiary of Switzerland-based Emmi Group is expanding its blue cheese production.
Emmi Roth, a Fitchburg, Wis.-based producer of specialty cheese, said it is acquiring Great Lakes Cheese’s blue cheese plant in Seymour, Wis. Emmi Roth makes award-winning Wisconsin-made blue cheeses, including Roth Buttermilk Blue, a creamy raw milk blue cheese; Roth Buttermilk Blue Affinée, an aged version of Buttermilk Blue; and Roth Moody Blue, a small-batch smoky blue cheese.
With the purchase of the Great Lakes Cheese plant, Emmi Roth said it will be able to not only expand its blue cheese production, but also increase its capabilities to develop new blue cheese products and packaging solutions.
