Lifeway Foods Invests $45M in Waukesha - Milwaukee Business Journal
Lifeway Foods installs advanced cooling to double kefir output by 2026, reinforcing Wisconsin as a global probiotic dairy leader with a $45 million investment.
- On Nov. 10, 2025, Lifeway Foods held a ribbon-cutting to launch Phase Two of its $45 million Waukesha expansion, designed to double production by the end of 2026.
- Following the 2013 acquisition, Lifeway revived the former Golden Guernsey site, with Phase One previously doubling fermentation capacity by expanding tanks at 2101 Delafield St.
- Phase Two features a new cooling system to support expanded fermentation and bottling, and the Waukesha facility transforms millions of gallons of Wisconsin-sourced milk monthly while buying 100 million pounds annually, the company said.
- The expansion will expand production hours and staffing to meet surging global demand for probiotic foods, and all three remaining phases target completion in 2026 despite possible cost delays.
- Lifeway's recognitions by TIME, Dairy Foods' Processor of the Year 2025, and Forbes underscore its industry standing as the project strengthens Wisconsin's dairy and probiotic role.
