Looking sharp at Hilmar Cheese in DalhartLooking sharp at Hilmar Cheese in Dalharthttps://www.recenter.tamu.edu/news/newstalk-texas/?Item=52152014-01-21T14:46:00Z2014-01-21T00:00:00Z

DALHART, PANHANDLE - Hilmar Cheese Company Inc. is nearing completion of its most recent processing expansion at its facility.

The expansion includes additional capabilities on an existing 40 lb. natural American-style cheese production line, and improvements to a variety of processes to better serve domestic and international customers.

“We continue to invest in cheese to meet the need of our growing customers domestically and abroad,” explained David Ahlem, vice president, cheese.

Hilmar Cheese Company built the Texas facility from a green-field site in 2005. The company began processing cheese in September 2007.

In 2010, the facility expanded as part of Phase II. This included additional milk storage capacity and four additional milk receiving bays, and expansion to the natural American-style cheese production line. On the whey processing side, additional equipment enhanced the whey protein product offering from four varieties to nine varieties.

Shipping options expanded to include a Union Pacific rail line to the shipping dock of the facility.

From a 2005 dream on the Plains to today, the Dalhart processing facility has grown to about 400 employees. Each day, the facility processes almost 1 million gallons of milk into cheese and whey products.

The expansion is scheduled for completion in 2014.
