Wade's Dairy Service, based in Readstown, Wisconsin, is a dairy product manufacturer known for its packaging and processing capabilities. In the early 1970s, under a third-generation leadership, the company experimented with a spin-welder that could form plastic bottles, fill them with dairy or juice, seal, and automatically case-pack at high speeds, enabling rapid growth through school and state contracts. This approach supported the packaging of sizable volumes—well over 100,000 half-pints per day—and drew visitors from around the world to tour the plant, illustrating its emphasis on automation and scale. To address seasonal demand gaps caused by school-year contracts, Wade's Dairy introduced a fruit drink called Bingo for warmer weather, diversifying its product mix.
The operation is characterized as a small to mid-sized, family-run dairy enterprise, rooted in decades of production and packaging activity. Recent recognition includes the 2021 Industry Person of the Year award presented to Doug Wade by the School Nutrition Association of Connecticut, reflecting engagement with school nutrition programs.
