GUGGISBERG TAKES FIRST PLACE!
MILLERSBURG, OHIO ? Wednesday, June 10th, the first of three contests in the Ohio Swiss Cheese Association?s competition to determine this year?s Grand Champion cheesemaker was held at Steiner Cheese in Baltic. The competition works on a point system. For each contest, the state?s Swiss manufacturers submit a sample to be judged, and each leg of the competition pays a set amount of points based on where their cheese is ranked by the judges. At the end of the three contests, the manufacturer with the most points is dubbed Grand Champion Cheesemaker. Guggisberg Cheese, of Millersburg, was awarded first place Wednesday to take the early lead in this year?s competition. The next contest will be held for the Ohio State Fair in Columbus on Tuesday, July 21st, and the final contest is to be held at the Swiss Festival in Sugarcreek on Wednesday, September 30th.

GUGGISBERG CHEESE, MILLERSBURG, OHIO, HAS PURCHASED DEUTSCH KASE HAUS, MIDDLEBURY, INDIANA, FROM TREGA FOODS LTD., A SUBSIDIARY OF CANADIAN DAIRY COOPERATIVE AGROPUR.
Deutsch Kase Haus is one of the country?s premier manufacturers of Colby, Marble, Yogurt, and other stirred-curd cheeses. The product lines are a natural fit for Guggisberg Cheese?s growth strategy, says Richard Guggisberg, president of Guggisberg Cheese. Guggisberg Cheese, which is known as the home of the Original Baby Swiss, is one of the largest manufactures of Baby Swiss and Swiss cheese in the country. Guggisberg says he is excited about the opportunities the acquisition will provide for the company to expand their presence in the marketplace. They will continue to focus on their proven growth formula of producing premium-quality cheeses at a competitive price.
For the time being, the Middlebury plant, located in the center of Indiana?s Amish country, will continue to operate under the Deutsch Kase Haus name. The plant employs approximately 50 workers, most of whom are expected to stay with the company. The state of the art facility is highly automated and well suited for producing consistently high quality cheese. Positioned for growth well into the future, the factory has the current capacity to produce nearly 20 million pounds of cheese annually. Guggisberg?s plans for the newly acquired plant include increases in production as well as eventual expansion of the plant and retail store.
Agropur, also busy in their efforts to expand, made two major acquisitions in the Upper Midwest in the last 12 months. Last January, they purchased Trega Foods and its three Wisconsin cheese-making facilities. Then, in December, Agropur acquired Schroeder Milk, a milk processing company located in Maplewood, Minnesota. According to Bernard Gagnon, vice president of U.S. sales for Agropur, the decision to sell Deutsch Kase Haus was a difficult one. Many companies inquired about purchasing the business, but when Guggisberg Cheese expressed interest, Agropur knew that they had found a buyer they could rely on to uphold the quality and integrity of the plant for years to come.

GUGGISBERG INTRODUCES GRASS-FED CHEESES
For many years the lush green pastures of the Doughty Valley and surrounding areas have contributed to the flavorful milk that goes into making The Original Baby Swiss Cheese and our Grand Champion Swiss Cheese. Recognizing this unique flavor, and with today?s health conscious consumer in mind, we have created a new product line using only milk produced form cows grazing on these pastures and following strict farming guidelines.

Eating in the pasture (what nature intended) is better for the animals.
Harmony between the land and the animals is better for the environment.
Living and working in a healthy sustainable atmosphere is better for the farmers.
