Listen "Suntado – Idaho’s First Vertically Integrated Dairy Processor"
Episode Synopsis
Idaho’s first vertically integrated dairy processing plant opened just in time for June Dairy Month, with a focus on contract manufacturing. Suntado processes and packages on site with capacity for up to 1 million pounds of locally-produced milk per day into shelf-stable and extended shelf life (ESL) milk and liquid dairy products. The 190,000-square-foot facility is the first U.S. co-manufacturer to use TetraPak’s Tetra Top packaging. On this episode, we are joined by Tory Nichols, office of the CEO, Business Development, Suntado, Russ Lucas, Suntado plant manager, and Mat Rutz, vice president of contract manufacturing for Tetra Pak U.S. and Canada, to talk more about Suntado and the future of the dairy business.
