Dairy Processing - November/December 2024 - 26

I'm energized
by the fact that
we've built this
plant from the
ground up,
creating a secure,
locally sourced
milk supply. "
Tory Nichols, office of the
CEO, Suntado
Initially, the company hired just enough
people to get through commissioning and
training to understand the equipment.
The trail runs were an important element
to ensure the plant was ready to begin
commercial production.
" The trials are where you learn from the
bad as much as you do the good, " Nichols
said. " Of all the trials we've ran, I don't think
we had a single trial that we would make the
mistake twice. And that's why we chose to limit
our capacity in the beginning so the team can
figure out how to perfect that system. And once
they perfect it: turn on the floodgates, bring on
the volume. "
Ahead of commercial production, Suntado
aggressively hired to meet business needs,
reaching 100 employees by October and
planning for 166 by December. With a goal of
24/7 production by mid-2025, building the right
environment for employee retention has been a
key focus.
" We were really focused on getting good
culture in the in the plant to start off and we
want to continue that route, " Lucas said.
Suntado currently has two processing lines
and six fillers: four aseptic and one ESL from
Tetra Pak, and one ESL from Pactiv Evergreen.
The plant was built with extra space to triple
its capacity in the future, with the ability to
house up to six processors and 18 filling lines.

At current full capacity, Suntado can produce
more than 33 million gallons a year. If and when
it expands, capacity will increase to processing
100 million gallons annually.
Suntado's eco-friendly initiatives and
operational efficiencies also position the
company as a strong contender in the
marketplace as it enters its first year of
