09/03/2025
Danone U.S., a food and beverage company and part of Danone North America, plans to expand its operations in Minster, Ohio. The project is expected to create 30 jobs.

The investment will include a 48,000-square-foot expansion at the company’s existing yogurt facility, as well as a new production line and upgrades to existing lines.

“Our commitment to American manufacturing runs deep, with 90 percent of our ingredients and packaging materials bought here,” said Dan Magliocco, President, Danone North America. “Fulfilling our Mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible, means producing nutrient-rich foods with U.S. ingredients in American factories that are benefiting local communities. I want to thank our team at Minster and our many partners in the Ohio community, including Governor DeWine, for their hard work to get to this point, and for the work to come as we expand this great facility.”

Danone produces consumer brands such as Oikos, Activia, Dannon and Danimals. The company currently operates 13 U.S. manufacturing facilities.

“Danone is a globally recognized food and beverage leader that continues to invest in its Minster yogurt facility, where the company has premier access to Western Ohio’s talent and dairy industry,” noted JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef. “The new manufacturing line will create 30 new jobs and upgrade existing technology at the plant that will improve efficiencies and deliver more product options for its customers.”??
