WhiteWave Foods Co., the maker of Horizon milk and other dairy foods, will open a sales office in Columbia by the end of the year.
The Broomfield, Co., company’s 4,000-square-foot office will be located at the Columbia Corporate Park at 8850 Stanford Blvd. The company signed a lease with Merritt Properties Inc.
The office will support customers on the East Coast, says Sara Loveday, a spokeswoman for the company. The office will employ eight initially, of whom five are new employees. The plan is to hire another four.
WhiteWave’s brands also include Silk Soymilk, flavored creamer International Delight and Half & Half under the Land O’Lakes brand name, licensed from the Arden Hills, Minn., company.
