When International Ingredient Corp.’s drying plant in Monroe,WI, opened in 1994, it was the first plant designed specifically for large-scale drum drying of dairy products for the feed industry.

Then, housing developments began to spring up, and the new neighbors complained about the odors emitted during this process."
