Ditsch, a pretzel manufacturer and subsidiary of the Valora Group, has announced a $70 million investment in a new bakery in Cincinnati (OH) to triple pretzel production.
Founded in Germany in 1919, Ditsch is described as a manufacturer of soft pretzels including traditional German pretzels, pretzel bites, frozen pretzels, croissants, and pizza snacks, supplying food services, bakeries, wholesalers, and retailers in 38 countries.
Ditsch also intends to invest $30 million to expand its German facilities, increasing capacity at Oranienbaum by late 2025 and streamlining its Mainz bakery operations.
Commenting on the move, Valora’s B2B foodservice division CEO Sebastian Gooding said: “With our strong teams, we deliver great tasting products, a strong and resilient supply chain and comprehensive food safety. We are delighted to be able to supply the US wholesale market even more comprehensively thanks to our new plant. At the same time, the capacity expansion in Germany will enable us to better meet the high demand”.
The new Cincinnati plant is expected to create over 150 jobs in the next two years.
