Aurora Organic Dairy, an American company operating eight large factory farms with thousands of dairy cows, in Colorado and Texas, organized a special ceremony on April 17 to open a new processing plant in Columbia, Missouri.
The opening ceremony was attended by representatives of state and local governments. The new plant is the second processing plant of the company producing organic milk and covers an area of 127,000 square meters. ft.
“Our company’s mission is to deliver high-quality organic milk with integrity to everyone and everywhere,” said Scott McGinty, Chief Executive Officer of Aurora Organic Dairy.
According to Sonya Tyutele, communications director at Aurora Organic Dairy, most of the milk will come from company-owned organic dairy farms. However, Aurora Organic Dairy purchases milk from other third-party manufacturers that meet their animal welfare standards and the requirements of other suppliers.
A new aseptic milk bottling line has been installed at the new Missouri plant, which will allow Aurora Organic Dairy to produce organic dairy products for long-term storage. Aurora Organic Dairy invested $ 150 million in the project.
