In 1985-1986, the cheese plant underwent a further expansion and then had a processing capacity of 3,000 tonnes a year. This allowed the production of slicing cheeses to be further expanded. The daily milk deliveries to Bad Bibra had climbed to between 80,000 and 100,000 litres a day, depending on the season. The Bad Bibra dairy cooperative is increasingly a well-known producer of slicing cheeses (Gouda and Edamer).
