Q4 is a busy time at Byrne, but our CFO Thomas Chartrand took some time to chat with Northeast Dairy Magazine for their Q4 Milestone edition. This issue focuses on the industry trends of ESL and aseptic dairy.
Here are a few takeaways from Thomas’s chat with NED:
PET coming to Cortlandville
“Our ongoing Cortlandville expansion showcases our commitment to both ESL and Aseptic dairy processing. This investment of over $100 million includes a state-of-the-art PET filler with the capability to make both ESL and aseptic dairy products. Over the years, Byrne has remained a consistent investor in these technologies in order to meet the evolving needs of the consumer.”
Value-Added ESL and Aseptic Dairy
“We are excited about value-added dairy along with new unique flavors and profiles that will bring about a large impact on the industry. We’re seeing many new flavors and types of products which are exciting. High-protein and custom-blended nutritional products also show promise and will impact the industry.”
Byrne: CNY Employer of Choice
“We have over 130 employees with at least 10 years of service within the company – that’s 1 in 5 Byrne team members. Our best-in-class, highly skilled employees are dedicated to making top quality products and delivering them on time and in-full to our customers.
