US dairy group Shamrock Farms is investing in one of its production facilities to meet "growing national demand".
The project at Shamrock Farms' milk manufacturing facility in Augusta County, Virginia will see the company add a new production filling line and cold-storage space at the site.
Phoenix-based Shamrock Farms is investing $59m in the plans, which are scheduled to be completed in 2028. It will receive a $900,000 in state-government grants.
Shamrock Farms' products are available in all 50 states through retailers and quick-service restaurants. Its retail customers include Kroger, Publix and Dollar General.
Besides Virginia, the family-owned company operates production facilities in Arizona. Its product line-up includes a ready-to-drink milk line and Rockin’ Protein shakes.
Shamrock Farms president Devon McClelland said: “We are committed to growth at Shamrock Farms, and this expansion is the latest milestone in our long history of strategic national brand growth.
“By continuing to evolve our product lines, facilities and technology, we are laying the groundwork for future success and our ability to serve quality products Shamrock customers know and love.”
Shamrock Farms is part of the broader Shamrock Foods Company, now led by the third generation of McClelland family leadership. The group's operations also include foodservice-distribution business Shamrock Foods.
