The state-of-the-art facility triples Berner’s manufacturing space, and offers customers additional beverage production capabilities
Berner Food & Beverage LLC (Berner), a private label and contract manufacturing supplier of quality food and beverage products, hosted a ribbon cutting event, marking the official opening of its newly expanded manufacturing facility. The state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, located in Dakota, IL, triples Berner’s manufacturing space, offers customers additional beverage production capabilities, and allows for continued growth in the future.
Kurt Seagrist, Chief Executive Officer, Berner said, “We are thrilled to be here today with many of our partners—including our valued customers, local dignitaries, news outlets and our dedicated, hard-working Berner team, as we mark this momentous milestone in Berner’s history. The new Berner Food & Beverage is about much more than this new state-of-the-art facility. The Berner legacy began back in 1943 with Arnold Kneubuehl and his family-owned dairy processing company. Over the years, Berner earned a strong reputation for unmatched product quality and cutting-edge R&D capabilities resulting from decades of experience as a cheese manufacturer and producer of high quality, shelf-stable dairy-based products. Then in November 2015, we were acquired by Peak Rock Capital and our transformation accelerated. The leadership at Peak Rock recognized our potential and encouraged our strategic growth strategy development, so that we can better serve our customer partners, today as well as tomorrow.“
