Schreiber Foods will begin construction of a distribution center in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in order to handle increased production from its two Richland Center yogurt plants.
The Green Bay-based dairy giant has 35 plants and distribution centers in eight states and nine international locations, employing more than 6,000 people companywide, according to a recentAssociated Press article. It has invested more than $100 million in the last five years in its two Richland Center yogurt plants, which together employ about 400 people.The groundbreaking for the 33,000-square-foot distribution center is planned for later in April. The facility is scheduled to be finished by fall.
Schreiber Foods supplies store-brand cheese to the grocery industry and is the largest provider of processed cheese to the food-service industry.
The Associated Press article quoted Joe Steinocher, manager of the Richland Center West yogurt plant: "You don't ever see our name, but you've eaten our product if you eat any type of dairy product. If you eat a cheeseburger somewhere, there's a good chance it's us."
