Chobani - a Greek company best known for its yogurt - officially broke ground on what is expected to be a large new plant in Twin Falls, Idaho, earlier this week. However, the ceremony may have been little more than a formality. According to The Magic Valley Times-News, construction crews have been hard at work ensuring the site is ready for work to begin.

Speaking to a crowd gathered at the site, CEO Hamdi Ulukaya said the 950,000 square-foot facility may have room to expand in the future.

Not only is this new facility an indicator of Chobani's continued success, but it demonstrates that the need for construction equipment may gradually be working its way back up to higher levels. Those looking to prepare their fleet for potential jobs in the future may want to consider upgrading their dump trucks and mixers.
