Hilmar Cheese Co., Inc., Hilmar, Calif., expanded its Dalhart, Texas, cheese production facility by expanding its footprint, increasing milk receiving capabilities and cold storage space and adding cheese block processing equipment. Staffing also grew, bringing total headcount to more than 420.
This investment comes as an earlier expansion to the 40-pound natural cheese processing is fully operational. The facility now processes nearly 200 tanker-loads of milk each day.
