Idaho’s first vertically integrated dairy processing plant has started operations just in time for June Dairy Month but do not expect to see their name brand milk. Suntado, a new 190,000-square-foot production plant sits on 23 acres in Burley, and has no plans for a brand of its own.
“Suntado’s brand is ‘Taste the Quality’ and that quality comes from having a vertically integrated milk supply – or milk shed that is less than 45 minutes from our plant,” said Tory Nichols office of the CEO, Business Development, at Suntado. “We wanted every customer that came through the door at Suntado to feel like they were Suntado, whether they wanted to develop a new product or they had a new innovation in mind. They could use us to create that. A lot of things go along with that – they have to trust their proprietary information with us, they've got to trust that we're going to protect their brand and that we're looking out in their best interests. I believe the Suntado team is adaptable and flexible enough and bright enough that we can manage numerous brands.”
