Greek-yogurt manufacturer Chobani announced on Tuesday that it would be investing $1.2 billion in building its third dairy processing plant in the United States, this time in upstate New York. The new project is expected to create more than 1,000 full-time jobs for Americans.
The privately held company, which was founded in 2005 by Turkish businessman Hamdi Ulukaya, said the new investment will go a long way in keeping up with rising product demands. Company executives also anticipate that the new processing plant will lead to new innovations in the United States.
Ulukaya, who founded the company in the Empire State back in 2005, announced that the new facility will be in the Central New York community of Rome.
“New York is where Chobani’s journey began. It was the perfect spot to start Chobani 20 years ago, and it’s the perfect place to continue our story. Working with dedicated dairy farmers and the resilient community, we built something truly special — something bigger than the food we make. We ignited a movement toward better food made with heart, passion, and only the highest-quality ingredients,” Ulukaya announced in a press release.
“With our new plant in Rome and our original home in South Edmeston, we’re entering a new dimension, partnering with hard working people across the heartland of New York to build an ecosystem of natural food production and nourish families throughout the country. When you invest in people, in local communities, you’re not just building a business — you’re building a future,” the CEO added
