Galloway Co. completed a major expansion to its production capabilities. The addition of a custom-built evaporator will nearly double the United States' total capacity for industrial sweetened condensed milk.

The expansion comes at a critical time, relieving a highly constrained market for premium concentrated dairy ingredients in the United States, the company said.

"Over the last four years, we've seen growing constraints from the bakery and confectionery markets, with extended lead times and maxed-out production capacities," said Mike Hasler, director of Industrial Sales, Galloway Co. "This expansion ensures we can not only meet the demand of our existing customers but also welcome new business."

With the addition of the second evaporator, Galloway Co. is building redundancy into its production process, minimizing the risk of service interruptions for clients. The new system will also enable greater customization of products, allowing the company to meet the needs of clients of all sizes, from full tanker trucks to smaller batches packaged in totes and 5-gallon pails.
