ByHeart Acquires Additional Domestic Infant Formula Manufacturing Facility
ByHeart announced the acquisition of an additional manufacturing facility in Allerton, Iowa that will enable the baby nutrition company to scale production capacity of its infant formula and increase domestic infant formula supply.
ByHeart is acquiring the Allerton facility from DairiConcepts, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dairy Farmers of America (DFA). ByHeart says it will be maintaining the facility's workforce and extending its benefits to all existing employees. This announcement follows ByHeart's recent acquisition of Cascadia Nutrition, an FDA-registered packaging and blending facility in Portland, Ore. Together, the company says these facilities and the its manufacturing plant in Reading, Pa., will provide ByHeart with sufficient manufacturing capacity to achieve its goal of feeding an estimated 500,000 infants each year.
