Chobani, other Greek yogurts on a marathon-like growth spurt

Chobani is making Greek yogurt as fast as Americans are eating it.

Its plant here in upstate New York farm country already pumps out 1.5 million cases of the thick yogurt every week, and pallets are stacked four stories high in the chilled warehouse.

But like other Greek yogurt makers, Chobani is expanding.

Company officials helped break ground Dec. 19 on a $128 million, 45,000-square-foot production plant in Twin Falls. Chobani expects to employ 400 people there.
