A manufacturer of Italian cheese, Grande Cheese Company announced last year that it had acquired the former Foremost Farms cheese plant in Chilton, Wis., furthering its manufacturing capabilities.
Recently, Grande Cheese broke ground for a 60,000-square-foot expansion to the former Foremost plant. Along with the new construction, Grande will renovate 20,000 square feet of the existing facility.
Todd Koss, chief executive officer for Grande, says that over the past several years, they have explored opportunities to develop their manufacturing network.
“The Chilton property will undoubtedly help us meet our obligation to support a growing and thriving business and those who are a part of the Grande family – including producers, foodservice operators and distributors, CIG customers, and stakeholders,” he said last year. “The addition of this facility also continues to build on our commitment to financial security and development opportunities for current and future generations of associates and their families.”
According to the company, construction is expected to be complete in mid-2026. The Chilton facility will be Grande’s third largest plant and will primarily produce mozzarella cheese.
Grande Cheese Company manufactures several lines of cheese for pizzerias and restaurants and provides specialty whey products to international food and beverage manufacturers. They have seven Wisconsin production facilities, including Brownsville, Fond du Lac, Friendship, Juda, Lomira, Rubicon and Wyocena.
