Shamrock Farms, a prominent player in the US dairy sector, has announced a significant investment in its Augusta County, Virginia production facility to address the increasing national demand for its products.
The company plans to enhance its milk manufacturing capabilities by introducing a new production filling line along with expanded cold-storage facilities at the site. This $59 million investment is scheduled for completion by 2028 and will also benefit from $900,000 in grants from the state government.
Shamrock Farms, based in Phoenix, distributes its products across all 50 states through various retailers and quick-service restaurants. Notable retail partners include Kroger, Publix, and Dollar General.
In addition to its operations in Virginia, Shamrock Farms also runs production facilities in Arizona, offering a diverse range of products, including ready-to-drink milk and Rockin’ Protein shakes.
Devon McClelland, president of Shamrock Farms, stated, “We are committed to growth at Shamrock Farms, and this expansion is the latest milestone in our long history of strategic national brand growth.”
By continuously evolving its product lines, facilities, and technology, Shamrock Farms is establishing a strong foundation for future success, ensuring it can provide the high-quality products that customers expect.
The company is part of the larger Shamrock Foods Company, now under the leadership of the third generation of the McClelland family. Alongside its dairy operations, the group also includes the foodservice distribution business, Shamrock Foods.
In today’s competitive landscape of the food and beverage industry, this strategic move not only reflects growing consumer demand but also aligns with broader trends in the food and drink business. As companies adapt to ever-changing food and drink consumer trends, Shamrock Farms exemplifies a proactive approach to expansion and quality assurance.
