BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Includes real estate, equipment, and wholesale contracts; expansion-ready

This well-established Wisconsin specialty cheese company has been producing award-winning artisanal cheeses for over two decades. With deep roots in tradition and a focus on uncompromising quality, this company has consistently been a leader in the market, producing a variety of premium cheeses recognized globally. Their strong reputation and dedication to craftsmanship have earned them numerous awards, including recognition at the World Cheese Awards.

This is being marketed as a real estate offering only. The recent equipment appraisal is $5.4M, and we anticipate the real estate appraisal to exceed $2.5M. The offering includes a business component, with wholesale contracts to major grocery retailers and others. A $1.9M purchase of cheese inventory is required as part of the transaction.

Key Highlights:

• Production Capacity: Capable of producing up to 348,000 pounds of cheese per week across three shifts, with opportunities for expansion to meet rising market demand.
• State-of-the-Art Facility: Includes a 16,000 sq. ft. plant and a new 11,500 sq. ft. warehouse/cold storage facility, with real estate included in the sale.
• GFSI BRC Certified: The company maintains an "A" rating for its safety and quality standards, ensuring compliance with the highest food safety protocols.
• Strategic Partnerships: Long-term relationships with local dairy farmers provide access to the finest milk, while partnerships with delicatessen markets and specialty retailers ensure consistent, high-margin sales channels.
• Growth Potential: The facility is primed for expansion, with untapped opportunities in new product lines, retail packaging, and automation to drive production efficiencies and reduce operational costs. Buyers can also capitalize on growing consumer demand for artisanal and specialty cheeses.

Market Opportunity:
As consumer interest in high-quality, locally-sourced artisanal foods continues to grow, this company is uniquely positioned to capture an even larger market share. The facility’s certification and high production capacity make it an ideal acquisition for private equity groups, strategic buyers, or investors looking to expand into the premium cheese sector.

This is a turn-key opportunity for an established operator or investor seeking a high-quality, scalable operation with room for future growth.
