The new facility continues Walmart’s commitment to building a more resilient and transparent supply chain to deliver high-quality products
Walmart announced opening an owned and operated milk processing facility in Valdosta, Georgia.
The new facility, which will break ground later this year and create nearly 400 Walmart jobs in the Valdosta community, has innovation at its core. It will bolster our capacity to meet the demand for high-quality milk while making our supply chain more resilient, and building even more transparency around sourcing.
Using ingredients sourced from local farmers, the new facility will process and bottle a variety of milk options including gallon, half gallon, whole, 2 per cent, 1 per cent, skim and 1 per cent chocolate milk for Walmart’s Great Value and Sam’s Club’s Member’s Mark brands. The products from the facility will serve more than 750 Walmart stores and Sam’s Clubs in the Southeast. The new facility continues Walmart’s commitment to building a more resilient and transparent supply chain to deliver high-quality products. Walmart opened its first milk processing facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana 2018. Additional investments include opening our first case-ready beef facility in Thomasville, Georgia building a second case-ready beef facility in Olathe, Kansas, and making equity investments and long-term commercial agreements with rancher-owned Sustainable Beef LLC and vertical farming company Plenty.
