H-E-B, a regional supermarket chain throughout Texas and Mexico, has recently announced its plans to expand one of the largest milk processing facilities in the Southwest.

According to the company, the $60 million investment will be used to add to their existing San Antonio dairy plant and will allow for ultra-high temperature milk processing to be conducted.

“At H-E-B, we continue to make investments in our facilities across the company, and this includes updates to our San Antonio dairy plant,” H-E-B spokesman Valentino Lucio said in an email. “This investment will allow us to add additional partners and increase capacity to produce more H-E-B brand products that are made in Texas such as H-E-B Mootopia, H-E-B Organics and lactose-free dairy products, among others.”

Work is expected to start in early 2024, according to H-E-B, and finish in July 2025.
