Recognized as the largest privately owned dairy manufacturer in the industry, Grassland Dairy takes in milk from more than 900 local, family-operated farms. It produces a variety of dairy items such as powdered and condensed milk, as well as salted and unsalted butter products, which are sold through 300 private labels, including nationally known brands.
Keeping the machinery humming is no small feat for the 25-member maintenance staff, as Grassland’s facilities include the main Greenwood, WI plant plus sister plants in West Point, NE; Hyrum, UT; and Graf Creamery in Zachow, WI. But keeping track of all the equipment has been made easier with a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS).
