United Dairymen of Arizona is an agricultural milk marketing cooperative incorporated in 1960. Our founding, a merger of two dairy associations, ensured a stable market for dairy producers and an adequate supply of fresh milk and dairy products of the highest possible quality for consumers. UDA’ membership consists of approximately 90 producers, averaging 1200 head per dairy, representing approximately 90% of the milk in the state. UDA’s modern manufacturing facility in Tempe operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and produces high, medium and low heat nonfat dry milk (including vitamin fortified products), MPC, cream, butter, skim milk, condensed skim milk and lactose powder. We provide product for a cheese manufacturer on-site. UDA’s plant can process 10 million pounds of milk per day, and regularly acts as a balancing plant for other processors in the region. UDA is also the largest supervised kosher milk facility in the country, capable of producing over 1000 metric tons of kosher powder within two weeks. UDA is among the few remaining full service dairy co-ops in the country. We offer our members installation, emergency repair, preventive maintenance, and transportation services along with chemical, equipment and pharmaceutical supplies.

Bush Brothers & Company's success is proof that well-spent ad money makes a difference -- even when you're up against the bean "big boys" (think Campbell's baked beans, or Heinz, Van Camp's, or B&M). Not deterred, however, Bush Brothers cans one of the leading US brands of baked beans, Bush's Best, which is made from a family recipe and first sold in 1969. The company also cans variety beans (black, garbanzos, pintos, refried), chili, greens, and hominy, all of which are sold in retail food outlets and to foodservice operators across the US. Company spokesbrother Jay Bush and his "talking" dog, Duke, are the stars of the company's popular TV commercials (which the man-and-his-dog duo started doing in 1995).

Fitness fanatic and billionaire S. Daniel Abraham helped shake up the weight-loss industry with the introduction in 1977 of his Slim-Fast meal-replacement drinks. After the success of the Slim-Fast shake, as well as other weight-loss remedies such as the over-the-counter drug Dexatrim, Slim-Fast Foods was spun off in 1990 from Abraham's Thompson Medical to capitalize on the needs of weight-conscious consumers. Unilever bought Slim-Fast Foods in 2000 for about $2.6 billion. The company sells some 50 Slim-Fast and Slim-Fast Optima branded drink powders, ready-to-drink shakes, and snack and meal bars through retailers in the US, Mexico, Canada, Ireland, the UK, and Germany.
