“Daisy Brand’s investment in Iowa further reinforces our standing as a manufacturing powerhouse and reputation for fostering an environment where businesses succeed and grow,” said Reynolds. “With a third of the nation’s top food manufacturers located in Iowa and 26% of our manufacturing industry attributed to food processing, Iowa and Daisy are a perfect fit. From our dairy industry and farmers to our skilled workforce, there is no better place for Daisy to expand, and I am confident the company will continue to flourish in our great state.” 

Headquartered in Dallas, the decision to expand into Iowa was driven by several factors, including Iowa’s agricultural resources and strengths, favorable business environment, and strategic location. 

“At its core, economic development is about partnerships between communities, companies and the state to ensure future growth,” said Debi Durham, director of the IEDA and Iowa Finance Authority. “This significant investment is a testament to those partnerships, one that will pay off for Boone and Iowa.”
