USA: Chobani to invest $500 million in Twin Falls plant expansion

Chobani, the Greek yoghurt specialist, has announced plans to invest $500 million to expand its plant in the city of Twin Falls (ID).

The investment will reportedly bring over 500,000 sq ft of new space, with the expanded plant covering 1.6 million sq ft and housing 24 production lines, increasing productivity by 50%. The investment is described as the biggest in the company’s history.

“Over a decade ago, this empty stretch of land in Twin Falls, Idaho, became the heartbeat of a food revolution”, Chobani is quoted as saying. “Today, that heart is growing even stronger”.

Chobani has invested over $1.3 billion in the region since the Twin Falls site opened in 2012.

Construction is underway, and the expanded site is expected to be fully operational by early 2026, generating 160 new full-time jobs.
