Agropur Commits $168M to Expand Midwest Dairy Processing Plant
The company said it plans to add a second facility near its existing production location in Little Chute, WI.
Dairy products maker Agropur is investing $168 million in an expansion project near its existing production location in Little Chute, WI, a company release revealed Monday. A new 210,000-sq-ft facility will be built to boost the firm’s capacity for cheese and dairy ingredients.
“Having a new state-of-the-art facility in Little Chute will help us solidify our leadership position in the dairy industry. Beyond speed and efficiency, the new processes and equipment will provide greater flexibility and will allow Agropur to offer a broader line of products to meet our customers’ needs,” said Doug Simon, president, US Operations for Agropur, in a statement. “With this new plant, we’re increasing production capacity so Agropur can help its clients live up to their brand promises.”
The two plants in Little Chute will have a combined capacity of about 750 million lb/yr. Agropur said it is also building a wastewater treatment facility that will supply energy to the new site.
Operations at the plant are slated to start in 2024. Up to 54 new jobs will be created when the facility opens.
