⚙️🏭COMING SOON!🏭⚙️ With plans to be completed in 2026, our final featured location in the Grande manufacturing network is our Chilton facility! The city of Chilton, located just 10 miles east of Lake Winnebago, is home to 3,700 residents and features beautiful hiking trails🌲in the Ledge View Nature Center. Grande broke ground on the Chilton facility in July 2024, which includes 60,000 square feet of new construction and 20,000 square feet of renovations. The Chilton facility will primarily produce mozzarella cheese🧀 and serve as a home base for about 75 Associates.

⚙🏭Manufacturing Greatness🏭⚙ Coming into our final two stops on the virtual tour of our Grande manufacturing facilities, we are arriving at our Whey facility in Friendship, Wisconsin. Located just two miles south of the beautiful Roche-A-Cri State Park and within minutes of at least 10 different lakes, Friendship is home to a picturesque central Wisconsin landscape🌳. Our Friendship facility joined the Grande manufacturing network in the late 1960s, when it was originally functioned as a cheese-making facility. In 1992, the facility changed production and since then Friendship has exclusively produced Grande whey ingredients for our customers!
