Fairlife is planning to build a 300,000-square-foot production and distribution facility in Goodyear, Arizona. "Demand for our milk has grown so much that we now need another manufacturing site," says chief operating officer Tim Doelman.
"In choosing a new plant location, it is essential that the new facility be built in an area where dairy farms are willing and able to follow Fairlife's responsible animal care and sustainable farming practices while producing the highest quality milk," Doelman adds. The company will work with the United Dairymen of Arizona to source milk from dairy farmers in Goodyear. Fairlife expects to increase production of all its products including ultra-filtered milk, Core Power, fairlife YUP!, fairlife smart snacks, and fairlife nutrition plan.
The facility is projected to cost over $200 million and will incorporate advanced manufacturing technologies and energy-saving equipment to reduce power consumption. It's slated to open in the latter half of 2020.
