Problem
To keep up with rising demand for Chobani Greek yogurt, more than four dozen refrigerated tanker trucks filled with milk drive to the company's production facility in upper New York State every day. After the milk is made into yogurt, mixed with fruit for flavored varieties, and poured into plastic cups, convoys of refrigerated trucks take the yogurt to Chobani's coast-to-coast network of retailer partners. In all, Chobani produces 2 million cases of Greek yogurt every week and remains the brand to beat in its category. When Chobani introduced Champions, its Greek yogurt for children, the product line gained wide distribution in a short time, thanks to strong retail connections.
