Facilities Overview

Facility A is designed across three levels: the ground floor houses milk reception, filling and packaging lines, butter production, thermal and cooling chambers, and cheese production units; the first floor is dedicated to pasteurization, milk standardization, and fermented dairy product manufacturing; while the basement includes changing rooms, sanitary areas, a CIP station, an energy block, and specialized ripening rooms for soft, semi-hard, and cottage cheeses.
Facility B complements operations with storage and logistics functions, featuring a ground floor with cold storage for cheese, packaging areas, and a packaging warehouse, along with a basement cold store for finished products. Both facilities are connected via an underground corridor to ensure efficient internal movement. The premises also include a 300 m² administrative building and approximately 600 m² of auxiliary infrastructure. The site is equipped with asphalted access roads, dedicated ramps for raw milk intake, and dispatch zones for finished goods, enabling smooth logistics and scalable operations. The entire property is owned outright, with no lease or rental obligations, providing full control to an incoming investor or operator.
