This amount will be used in particular to increase cheese production at Fromagerie St-Guillaume.
“The government investment will help install automated equipment, including an ultrafiltration system and a milk separation system,” read a statement.
“This equipment will allow Fromagerie St-Guillaume to recover by-products from the cheese-making process and incorporate them into various products, thereby reducing losses and increasing productivity. »
Agrilait thus wishes to increase the plant’s processing capacity by 35% annually.
