Indian dairy company Healthways Dairy & Foods has opened a new milk plant in Gorakhpur, in a move to make fresh dairy products more easily accessible to people in the region. According to the company, the launch of the Gorakhpur plant will "cut down the journey of milk and make fresh, hygienic milk and dairy products easily accessible for the people of Gorakhpur and neighbouring areas". The new facility houses technology to manufacture and pack milk among other value-added products. The plant joins Healthways' other manufacturing sites in Gulaothi and Sandilla. "Healthways' 'no compromise' philosophy reflects at every stage of its value chain, from sourcing healthy feed for healthy cattle, providing veterinary support, paying competitive prices to farmers, running beneficial schemes for their upliftment, applying cutting-edge technology to manufacture, to delivering healthy products fresh at retail outlets," said Healthways' managing director, Narendar Nagar.
