Schreiber Foods is set to invest more than $267 million to build a new process-cheese manufacturing facility in Carthage, Missouri, US.
The project is expected to begin operations in 2028 and create approximately 100 new jobs, expanding the company’s process-cheese production capacity to meet anticipated customer demand.
The new facility will strengthen Schreiber’s manufacturing network and is intended to support customers with increased capacity, as well as quality, food safety and supply reliability.
Trevor Farrell, president of Schreiber Foods, said: “The investment reflects our confidence in the future and our commitment to being ready for what’s next. By expanding our network in Carthage, we’re strengthening our ability to deliver the quality, food safety, service and reliability our customers count on every day.”
Schreiber said the investment reflects its long-term commitment to the process-cheese category, with the company continuing to invest in manufacturing technology, capabilities and its workforce.
The company currently operates several facilities in Carthage and has been part of the local community for more than 75 years. Its existing operations employ more than 1,300 people.
The latest investment will further expand Schreiber’s presence in Southwest Missouri while supporting additional employment and economic activity in the region.
The Carthage project forms part of Schreiber’s wider investment in its global cheese manufacturing network. The company said the expansion will contribute to a more resilient and flexible manufacturing network, enabling it to serve customers across international markets.
Schreiber is an employee-owned supplier of cream cheese, natural cheese, process cheese, beverages and yogurt with more than 10,000 employees across five continents.
