cheese | Leprino plant to produce 1 million pounds of cheese per day

Leprino Foods Company announced plans for a Texas dairy facility capable of producing 1 million pounds of cheese, the equivalent of 200 tanker loads of milk, per day.

The 850,000-square-foot plant is scheduled to begin operation in 2025 at Lubbock, Texas.

Ongoing growth in Texas milk production has outpaced processing capacity in the state and region, a situation that will continue until new plants comes on line. Discussions are underway concerning renewal of the current milk production control program this fall, according to Darren Turley, executive director of the Texas Association of Dairymen.

In June, Cacique LLC broke ground on a $88 million Mexican-style cheese production facility in Amarillo, Texas, expected to open in fall of 2022.
