Some of our past and present customers include: Alpina, Maia, LATTA, 7-11, BJ’s, Supervalu, A&P, Shoprite, Pathmark, Shaw’s, Jewel, Cub Foods, Speedway, Costco, BP, Hess, Acme, Quick Chek, Albertson’s, Sam’s Club, Target, Grestede’s, the Attorney Generals in New England (CT, MA, VT, NH and RI), University of Connecticut, California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), and many others. The bulk of the work we do for retailers, various state governmental entities, and others is to calculate the proper increase or decrease passed on monthly. While working for the New England Attorney Generals, we were asked to determine whether the prices charged by numerous manufacturers to area retailers or wholesale companies were violating any state laws governing pricing of milk products. Dairy Tech’s findings were studied by a leading CPA firm with access to the processors’ financial records who found Dairy Tech’s work accurate.
With our individual bottom-line dairy food costing background, collectively, Dairy Tech brings well over 50 years of combined experience and knowledge to our customers. In short, we are a “hands on” service delivering understandable costing information.

Meet your talented dairy cost experts
Dairy Tech's partner, Corey Durling, has a lifelong dairy food and milk processing background, beginning with Durling Farms (now Readington Farms in Whitehouse, NJ). Durling Farms was founded by Corey’s great-grandfather in 1880 and passed down four generations to Corey who, with support from the Durling family, sold the plant to Wakefern Food Corp (Shoprite Supermarkets). Readington Farms now processes milk for Durling which is marketed in the family’s 140+ convenient food stores, Quick Chek Food Stores. In 1990, Durling moved, with his family, to Poland where he built, staffed, and ran a yogurt processing plant, distribution and sales company in southwestern Poland with the intention of selling the business and returning to New Jersey. Yoplait bought the business in 1996.
Another key Dairy Tech partner, Karol Szot, has extensive computer programming and cost accounting skills. Karol ran his own software firm selling financial and cost accounting packages to the corrugated box industry in the US and Canada prior to co-founding Dairy Tech. With Karol’s assistance Dairy Tech has collected a vast database of product cost information from around the country and Canada.
