The Go Cheese factory was started in early 2000. It is located in the milk belt of Manchar on the Mumbai Nashik highway. The UHT technology is of international standards with the best European technology, fully automated and requires minimum human intervention. Right from reception of milk to the finished product, we maintain strict no-human-contact through the entire manufacturing process. Moreover, our plant is capable of churning out 1,000,000 litres of milk per day, has an output capacity up to 10 metric tonnes of butter, 25 metric tonnes of ghee, 10 metric tonnes of dahi (yoghurt), 40 metric tonnes of cheese and 65 metric tonnes of milk powder per day. The factory is quite often a part of study tours for school kids who learn the history & art of cheese making.
Another fascinating aspect of our plant is that it is one of the only two facilities in Asia with UHT technology. The equipment has been imported from Stephan Machinery Germany, pioneers in cheese processing equipment. The cheese can be stored in ambient condition without refrigeration up to a period of 6 months in tropical countries like India. The company is sure to reach national markets with its UHT treated, superior quality cheese, which will be available in a variety of forms such as slices, wedges spreads and an assortment of exciting flavours under a new brand name, Go.
