The president of Agropur’s fine cheese division, Pierre Robert, explained to the Globe and Mail that the purchase of the Middlebury, Ind.-based plant will add sales of some C$30m (US$18.8m) to the cooperative, boosting turnover at the division by 25%.
The plant processes 60 million litres of milk per year, producing Colby, Colby-Jack, Monterey-Jack and Pepper-Jack cheeses.
