SPRINGFIELD, MO. — Hiland Dairy Foods Co. is expanding its facility in Tyler, Texas, adding 90,000 square feet to the plant.

The company said the project calls for areas dedicated to processing, filling, casing, palletizing, load-out and storage, as well as a new laboratory.

The farmer-owned dairy processor expects the project to be completed by the first quarter of 2026.

The company said Big-D Construction, Salt Lake City, is serving as the general contractor for the project at the Tyler plant, which Hiland Dairy took over in 2017.
