Hilmar Cheese Shows Off New Headquarters

Hilmar Cheese Co. on Tuesday dedicated its new headquarters, including a lab where workers dream up more and more uses for dairy products.

The building, just south of the world’s largest cheese plant on Lander Avenue, will help the company take advantage of a growing global market for this food and its byproducts, speakers said.

“No one is more optimistic about your future than I am,” said Karen Ross, secretary of food and agriculture for Gov. Jerry Brown.
