STATE business, we are excited by the acquisition of the Borden label,” says Lonnie Spurgeon, senior vice president and chief operating officer for the DFA Dairy Foods Group. “It gives us access to an established and highly regarded name in the retail mar ket, where we see oppor tunity for future growth and product expansion.” In light of a 1996 USDA study that shows domestic per capita cheese consump tion climbing by 2 per cent annually up a total of 27 percent since 1980 the acquisition provides an important foothold for DFA in cheese product develop ment and marketing. “Research has shown that, in the United States, Borden is the most recognized natur al dairy brand, with an unaided consumer awareness score of 15 percent,” Spurgeon explains. “That’s a solid foundation upon which we can continue to build and grow Borden product suc cess and reputation. “The report also indi cates that consumers identify convenience as the No. I reason to pur chase single-wrapped cheese,” Spurgeon adds. “That’s where the Borden label comes in. Borden is one of the country’s leading man ufacturers of cheese singles in regular, low fat and no-fat choices. “Our vision is to expand Borden product lines while capitalizing on its brand name identity and product reputation,” Spurgeon says. “When consumers buy cheese, we want them to think Borden.” Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 29, 1999-Al5 GRADED FEEDER PIG SALE FRIDAY JUNE II AND 25; PEN LOTS OF CATTLE SOLD IN ORDER RECEIVED.
