Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Pacific Cheese Company (Hayward, California) expects to start production next month at its new plant in Amarillo, Texas. Processing equipment is being installed to receive manufactured cheese from the Hilmar Cheese Company (Hilmar, California) plant in Dalhart, Texas. Cheese will be delivered in 40-pound blocks to the new facility and will then be cut and shredded for distribution.

The project, estimated at more than $15 million, involved the construction of a 93,000-square-foot building with a 27,000-square-foot refrigerated area and seven docks. Western Builders of Amarillo Incorporated (Amarillo, Texas) was selected as the general contractor.
