SV buys Rochester Cheese - Newsline - Brief Article

Rural Cooperatives, July-August, 2002

Rochester (Minn.) Cheese Co., with plans at Spring Valley and Delbo, Minn., has been purchased and will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Swiss Valley Farms, Davenport, Iowa. The Rochester headquarters facility includes a cold storage warehouse. The company ages, grates and custom-blends cheese for food companies nationwide and packages parmesan and romano cheese for retail and ingredient markets.

The firm's annual sales are about $100 million. Gene Quast, Swiss Valley CEO, said the expansion effectively broadens the cooperative's line and enables it to offer a complete line of quality dairy products to its customers.
