Hiland Dairy Foods Co. is strengthening its presence in Tyler, Texas, with a major 90,000- square-foot expansion to its current facility. According to the company, the project will feature advancements in processing, storage and quality control, with the expansion slated to be complete by early 2026.
“This expansion is more than just growth in our physical footprint; it’s a commitment to the future of Tyler,” said Rick Beaman, president of Hiland Dairy, in a company press release. “We deeply appreciate the support we’ve received from the city, and we’re excited to continue providing good-paying, stable jobs for this community for years to come.”
With Texas being one of the top five milk producing states in the country, Hiland states that the new addition will allow the plant to better meet the growing demand for high-quality dairy products across the Lonestar state.
“This investment is not just about expanding our capabilities—it’s about ensuring that Tyler remains at the heart of Hiland Dairy’s regional operations. The project will provide numerous employment opportunities, contributing to the economic stability of Tyler and its surrounding areas,” said Barry Beaman, general manager of Hiland Dairy’s Tyler plant.
The groundbreaking ceremony, marking a new chapter for Hiland Dairy and the city of Tyler, will occur on September 24, 2024.
“This expansion is a testament to our commitment to the community and our dedication to maintaining the highest standards in dairy production,” Barry Beaman added. “We look forward to continuing our legacy of excellence with this new investment.”
