THE QUICK READ
Leprino Foods runs a cheese and dairy ingredients plant in Waverly, NY, sitting right on the New York-Pennsylvania state line. The site operates around the clock, turning milk into cheese products on lines that get washed down daily to meet food-safety rules. It holds roughly 38,000 pounds of ammonia for refrigeration -- large enough to require a formal process safety management program, since federal rules kick in at 10,000 pounds. The plant was built in 2002 with a hot-dip galvanized steel structure.

ABOUT LEPRINO FOODS
Leprino Foods traces to 1950, when Mike Leprino Sr. began making mozzarella at his family's corner grocery store in Denver, Colorado. His son Jim Leprino took over as chairman and chief executive in 1972 and built the company into the world's largest mozzarella cheese manufacturer, also producing lactose and whey protein. As of 2025 Leprino employs more than 5,500 people across plants in the United States, United Kingdom, and other countries, with reported annual revenue near $3 billion. The company remains privately held and family-owned, still headquartered at its original Denver site.
