Glanbia and its U.S. joint-venture partner, the Greater Southwest Agency, have announced a further $90 million expansion of Southwest Cheese, their cheese-and-whey manufacturing operation in New Mexico. The expansion project, expected to increase plant capacity by 33%, will be funded largely from the business.rnCommissioning of the expansion is expected in 2010. Once fully commissioned, the expansion will see annual capacity at the site boosted to just over 4 billion pounds of milk, yielding 400 million pounds of cheese and 26 million pounds of high-value-added whey proteins.
