In addition to acquiring Leprino Foods’ plant in Remus, Michigan, MMPA is expanding ultrafiltered milk production capabilities at its facility in Ovid, Michigan.
Horizon says the acquisition expands its portfolio, strengthens its presence across retail channels and reinforces its commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable products.
The long-term investment is designed to double overall production capacity, increase operational efficiencies, expand production hours and staffing, and solidify the Midwest's position as the global hub of kefir production.
The final rule will amend regulations to provide for the use of fluid ultrafiltered (UF) and microfiltered (MF) milk and nonfat milk in the manufacture of standardized cheeses and related cheese products.
The partnership aims to make the Lockerbie Creamery in Scotland an ultra-high temperature (UHT) center of excellence by mass scaling milkshake, sundae and lactose-free milk production at the site.
The vertically integrated plant will process an estimated 116,000 gallons of local milk dairy, displaying the local nature of California’s dairy industry.
