A large production facility is planned for the Town of Webster that is expected to create up to 250 jobs.
That news came Tuesday from Governor Kathy Hochul who said that the plant is being built by Coca-Cola for what will be the largest dairy processing plant in the northeast.
The plant will make products for fairlife, which makes ultra-filtered milk products. The company was founded in 2012, and according to a statement from the governor’s office it has designed a line of products that removes the lactose and much of the sugar and leaves behind more of the protein and calcium.
Fairlife makes products that include protein and meal replacement shakes. Coca-Cola acquired fairlife in 2020.
Hochul issued a statement saying that the decision to put the plant, estimated to involve an investment of about $650 million in Webster on Tebor Road, “marks the next chapter in New York’s agricultural success story.”
The CEO for fairlife, Tim Doelman said that the new production facility will allow his company to significantly increase capacity.
