“Harrisburg Dairies’ location in the Central Pennsylvania milkshed along with its distribution capabilities and infrastructure made it an attractive option for a growing ethnic dairy foods company,” says HDC CEO Lenny Davis. “Ultimately, we are proud to be able to facilitate a transaction that retains local dairy production and jobs. It’s a win-win result for the new leadership and the community.”

Patanjali Dairy is a subsidiary of Patanjali Ayurved, a multinational conglomerate holding company based in Haridwar, India. Founded in 2006, the company manufactures cosmetics, ayurvedic medicine, personal care and food products.
