Deep Dairy Products, LLC, Union Township, N.J., announced plans to modernize its Waterloo, N.Y., cheese processing facility. As a result of the upgrades, the company plans to create up to 39 new jobs over the next five years. The modernization will allow additional products to be manufactured on-site that were previously made by third-party suppliers, and will increase the amount of milk needed from local dairy farmers.

The 27,000 square-foot facility Waterloo facility currently supplies the cheese and yogurt ingredients for many of Deep Foods’ frozen entrées also produced at the Waterloo plant. The planned upgrade allow Deep Dairy Products to increase capacity beyond raw material production and start manufacturing yogurts, lassi drinks and other dairy products on a large scale under the new brand name Deep Indian Kitchen.
