Stellar has experience in the processing of farm gate milk into packaged fluid milk, cream products, yogurt and processing milk into other dairy products such as butter, ice cream, cheese and milk powders. There are three main organizational structures in the dairy processing industry and Stellar has provided services at every level:

Producer-owned cooperatives
Diversified food & consumer product manufacturers
Processors/multi-plant firms that offer a full range of product lines

Stellar designs and constructs dairy facilities with a focus on production efficiency, quality control and food safety. Since most dairy facilities utilize extensive piping and vat storage systems, Stellar engineers focus on the efficient design of mechanical, electrical and associated infrastructure needs during the project design phase.

As an authorized Rockwell Automation Integrator, Stellar has experience in the design and installation of control systems which are critical to today's highly automated production facilities. Stellar's focus on proper building materials and construction methods ensure compliance with A3 Standards and today's best practices for food safety and plant sanitation.
