Co-manufacturer and private-label processor DreamPak LLC broke ground on a $5 million, 50,000-square-foot expansion of its New Berlin, Wis., plant. The manufacturer of drink mixes, liquid creamers, shelf-stable meals and dietary supplements purchased the facility nearly 10 years ago, and the expansion will add processing, filling and storage space in support of the company’s growing liquid concentrate business, a news release said.

In addition, DreamPak plans to further develop the site over the next couple of years and lease several spaces in the local business park to support other projects. DreamPak was founded in 2000 to provide solutions for center-of-the-store products, initially focused on single-serve packaged liquids.
