Denali expands in New Berlin

By Jim Butman

Denali Ingredients LLC announced today it is expanding line of ice cream ingredient offerings to include brownie bits, cookie dough pieces, cheesecake pieces and other products.

Denali invested more than $3.5 million to develop the necessary production equipment used in making its new extruded products. The investment came in addition to a $2 million expansion last summer that increased the company's raw ingredients storage capabilities by 80 percent and included construction of a state-of-the-art pilot lab.

The company's total investment in the New Berlin facility during the past 12 months exceeded $5 million, and an estimated 12 new jobs were also created.

The 110,000-square-foot Denali Ingredients facility produces more than 40 million pounds of ice cream and dairy ingredients each year.

"Denali Ingredients has always stood for fair pricing, consistent quality and unparalleled order fulfillment," said Neal Glaeser, president of Denali Ingredients. "The extruded dough products add another product technology in which we can apply these same principles to better meet the growing interest in decadent and unusual ice cream flavor combinations."

Glaeser expects the company's extrusion line to expand quickly: "It's a whole new ingredients world for us, and we're going to have fun with it. I imagine our talented R&D group will develop some really unique extruded products in the near future."
