With no brands of its own gracing retail shelves or foodservice counters, KanPak US might not be a household name among U.S. consumers. But make no mistake: The company is a dairy processing powerhouse, coming in at No. 88 in Dairy Foods’ 2021 listing of the top 100 North American dairy processors (Dairy 100).
KanPak US is part of KanPak LLC, which got its start more than a half century ago when George Cohlmia founded the company in Arkansas City, Kan. (in 1965). The family-owned dairy company stood apart from the crowd early on, however. It became a leader in the development of beverage and dessert aseptic processing and packaging.
