Grande Cheese Acquires PGP’s Whey Processing Facility
Grande Cheese Co., Lomira, Wis., acquired PGP International’s Juda, Wis., whey processing facility, which is located adjacent to Grande Cheese’s Juda plant.
“Grande has been consistently growing its cheese and whey business,” says Wayne Matzke, president and CEO of Grande Cheese. “Because we had already been supplying some of our whey to the PGP facility, this acquisition makes sense. It will also help support our future growth and diversification, as well as play a significant role in the stability of the Wisconsin dairy industry, as this location receives whey from several other local cheese plants.”
