Sorrento Lactalis is planning an expansion to its Nampa, Idaho cheese factory, adding a new whey processing facility. The company plans to break ground this winter and finish in less than two years.
Its planned new whey facility will be 50,000 to 60,000 square feet and cost close to $50 million, Jean Claude Bruneau, vice president of manufacturing, told the Idaho Press-Tribune on Wednesday.
The expansion will include a 175-foot whey evaporation tower and several silos. The company could break ground on the project this winter and finish in less than two years.
The new facility will enable the cheese-processing plant to increase its production in three years from between 400,000 and 420,000 pounds of cheese per day to 600,000 pounds per day, Bruneau said.
