Yogurt company Chobani opens research facility in Idaho
The founder and CEO of Greek yogurt company Chobani has opened a $21 million research and development center in south-central Idaho.
Hamdi Ulukaya said at a ribbon-cutting on Monday in Twin Falls he’s relieved the 71,000-square-foot facility is up and running. It’s been in use since June.
Republican Idaho Gov. Brad Little attended the event and praised Ulukaya for his commitment to the state.
The company opened a $450 million, 1 million-square-foot yogurt plant in Twin Falls in 2012. The company has about $1.5 billion in sales annually.
