Hiland Dairy Foods Expands Tyler, Texas, Production Operations

09/24/2024
Hiland Dairy Foods Co., a farmer-owned dairy foods company, plans to expand its operations in Tyler, Texas. The project is expected to create 30 jobs.

The additional 90,000 square feet will include processing, filling, casing, palletizing, load-out, storage areas, and a new laboratory. The expansion is scheduled for completion by the first quarter of 2026.

“This investment is not just about expanding our capabilities—it’s about ensuring that Tyler remains at the heart of Hiland Dairy’s regional operations. The project will provide numerous employment opportunities, contributing to the economic stability of Tyler and its surrounding areas,” said Barry Beaman, general manager of Hiland Dairy’s Tyler plant. “This expansion is a testament to our commitment to the community and our dedication to maintaining the highest standards in dairy production. We look forward to continuing our legacy of excellence with this new investment.”

The City of Tyler helped with tax abatements that will be reviewed in October.

“They could’ve invested anywhere; they have other locations across the state of Texas and throughout their corporate footprint. But we are really pleased that they have decided to make this significant investment in our community,” noted President of Tyler Economic Development, Scott Martinez.

Hiland Dairy’s products include milk, dips, cottage cheese, flavored milk, sour cream, yogurt, ice cream, butter, cheese, and eggnog. The company currently employs 4,000 throughout Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.
