Permits Being Sought for Powdered Milk Plant in Michigan

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Continental Dairy Products Incorporated (Artesia, New Mexico), a milk marketing cooperative, is seeking the necessary permits to proceed with a nearly $100 million investment toward a powdered milk processing plant in Coopersville, Michigan. Other sites are under consideration in Indiana and Ohio. Meanwhile, Continental Dairy has set its sights on a 300,000-square-foot building built in 1980 on a 125-acre site that was formerly occupied by auto parts manufacturer Delphi. Construction is slated to begin this fall with the expectation of completion a year later.

Continental Dairy has contracted Dahlgren Industrial (Seattle, Washington) to oversee facilities and construction and Tetra Pak Cheese and Powder Systems (Columbia, Maryland) with responsibility for process-equipment design and installation.

Continental Dairy is a cooperative of 28 dairy farms with an average of 3,000 cows producing 1.8 billion pounds of high-quality grade-A milk annually.
