SunOpta a supplier of oat milk will commit $30 million to expand their Modesto, CA. plant.  SunOpta applies an enzymatic treatment and extraction process to manufacture oat milk and other plant-based products.  The company currently operates a new plant-based milk plant located in Midlothian, TX. that commenced production in early 2023.

Brian Kocher, CEO commented that expanding the Modesto plant was justified by increased demand and the facility will contribute to both sales and sustainability by reducing distances required for national distribution.
