History
In 1933 Byrne Dairy was founded by Matthew V Byrne, when they began to deliver high-quality milk to families within New York. In 1941 motor trucks slowly began to take over the wagons, and completely by the end of the decade. By the late 1940s war veterans began to return home, contributing significantly to the company, increasing the monthly revenue from approximately $900.00 to $400,000.00. The slogan “Byrne Dairy Milk is Mighty-Fine” began to appear on the packages of their products in 1952 along with the opening of the first Byrne dairy store. In 1959 Matthew V Byrne died, and by the 1977 the home deliveries no longer took place. The next year the company underwent a major expansion, expanding their product line to ice cream, and by 1981 were also churning its own brand of butter. In 1990 Byrne Dairy launched their own plastic milk bottles and in 2004 they opened their Ultra Dairy Plant. The plant is 40,000 square feet, and contain and ultra pasteurization manufacturing facility located in Dewitt, New York. In 2008 Byrne Dairy invested 28 million dollars to expand their Ultra Dairy production along with their technology and have now adopted more aseptic production of milk and dairy products that do not require refrigeration.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
