Harry Davis & Company (HDC) this week completed the sale of the former Alpenrose butter, sour cream, and ice cream mix business operations in Clackamas, Oregon.

The transaction preserves approximately 35 local jobs and ensures the continuation of production, supporting the regional dairy supply chain.

“Opportunities to acquire an established business with integrated butter and cultured product capabilities are rare. We are proud to connect buyers and sellers in a way that preserves ongoing operations, protects jobs and sustains food production capacity,” said Aaron Morgenstern, president of HDC. “Our position at the intersection of market demand and available businesses allows us to deliver solutions that benefit all stakeholders.”
