MONROE, Wisconsin — Klondike Cheese Co. is expanding production as it enters its second century of cheesemaking, under the leadership of six Master Cheesemakers certified by UW–Madison’s Center for Dairy Research.
Klondike now operates a highly automated production line at its plant west of Monroe. The robotic technology allows Klondike to raise production despite an extremely tight labor supply, says company president Ron Buholzer.
The increased volume will still require hand labor in the packaging area, and Buholzer expects no reduction in total employment, which is now above 230.
