Bongards Creameries will invest $135 million to expand its process cheese manufacturing facility in Bongards, Minn. Founded in 1908, Bongards' Creameries has grown from a small Minnesota cooperative into a globally recognized dairy manufacturer serving customers throughout North America and around the world. The cooperative continues to invest in advanced manufacturing, product innovation, and customer partnerships while remaining focused on delivering long-term value to its member dairy farm families. "This investment is about much more than expanding production capacity," said Dennis Thomas, CEO of Bongards' Creameries. The project also reinforces Bongards' commitment to manufacturing excellence while supporting the continued growth of Minnesota's dairy industry.
