Glanbia Foods, the world's largest American-style cheese manufacturer and one of the largest whey ingredient producers, has announced a major expansion to its manufacturing and production plants in Gooding and Twin Falls, Idaho, projecting an $82 million investment and creating up to 50 new jobs.

"The entire Southern Idaho region celebrates this announcement today along with the addition of more than 40 good paying jobs," says Jan Rogers, executive director, Southern Idaho Economic Development Organization (SIEDO) We are particularly thrilled that we were once again able to leverage the Tax Reimbursement Incentive to support the growth of an existing Idaho company. 

 Specifically, Glanbia will invest in manufacturing processes to meet the growing demand for high-quality whey products, such as:

 

·         The expansion of high end whey protein production in Gooding to include Whey Protein Isolate

·         The creation of a center of excellence for the in-house blending and agglomeration of high-end nutritional products

·         The introduction of lactoferrin production to the Twin Falls location and the internal drying capacity expanded to cater for both Twin Falls and Gooding production
