Kikkoman, a leading manufacturer of soy sauce and related condiments, has started construction on a new production facility in Jefferson County (WI).
The new $560 million factory will be the company’s second in Wisconsin and third in the US, situated close to its existing plant in Walworth. It is intended to be a sustainable next-generation production facility, offering flexibility alongside production efficiency and scalability for multi-production of a variety of products, the company said in a statement.
The new facility will span an area of 240,000 sq ft and produce soy sauce and soy sauce–related seasonings including teriyaki sauce.
Commenting on the move, Kikkoman CEO and chairman of the board Yuzaburo Mogi said: “Today, we are committing to an investment in the community of Jefferson and the state of Wisconsin. Kikkoman believes in Wisconsin, and we are grateful to this great state for believing in us. Our collaboration began half a century ago as a leap of faith, and today, it continues as a promise of continued growth and cultural connection”.
The first shipment of soy sauce is scheduled for the second half of 2026.
