H-E-B Set to Expand its San Antonio Milk Processing Plant
November 15, 2023 | 1 min to read
H-E-B, the San Antonio-based grocery chain, is set to expand its milk processing capabilities with a new 4,860-square-foot facility for UHT milk processing. This project, costing an estimated $60 million, begins in early 2024 and is expected to wrap up by July 2025. According to spokesperson Valentino Lucio, this facility will be among the largest in the region, aligning with H-E-B's recent expansion efforts into North Texas and the Hill Country.
We all have seen the growth that H-E-B is going through over the past few years with it’s expansion into North Texas and a new store on the way in the Hill Country. It seems to make sense that the San Antonio-based grocery store would need to process more of its milk products. That is the plan for its plant out near Windcrest, according to a recent filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
The filing says that it will be adding 4,860 square feet for “UHT milk processing,” or ultra-high temperature milk processing, which is where dairy products are pasteurized. Work is expected to start in early 2024, according to the filing, and finish in July 2025. The project has an estimated cost of $60 million.
H-E-B spokesperson Valentino Lucio confirmed the expansion in a statement sent to MySA. The filing nor H-E-B disclosed the size of the entire facility at 4710 N I-35, San Antonio, TX 78218, but Lucio did say its one of the largest in the region.
