Darigold

Scheduled to open in early 2024, in Pasco, Wash., and create approximately 200 jobs, the Darigold facility is expected to process about 8 million pounds of milk per day, 175 million pounds of butter per year and close to 280 million pounds of powdered milk products annually once it is completely operational.

The marketing and processing subsidiary of the Northwest Dairy Association shared that the facility will utilize two specialized milk dryers and two packaging lines for premium proteins and powdered milk products, as well as two butter churns, two bulk butter packaging lines and five consumer butter packaging lines. HPM provided Audit & Contract services for this project, leading to significant cost savings to the owner.
