Ferrara, the US sugar confectioner, has announced plans to establish a $675 million manufacturing and corporate facility in Orangeburg County, South Carolina.
The investment is projected to create 1,000 jobs over the next ten years, according to the company. The new 750,000 sq ft site will include an administrative office, a warehouse for raw and packaging materials and processing and packaging operations. The first production lines are scheduled to become operational in the first quarter of 2029.
Ferrara – which boasts a portfolio of over 40 brands including Nerds, SweeTarts and Trolli – said the new operation would support high consumer demand and strengthen its position within the sugar confections market. The investment follows the company’s recently completed acquisition of Jelly Belly.
Commenting on the investment, Ferrara CEO Marco Capurso said: “Our new Orangeburg facility represents a major step forward in transforming Ferrara’s manufacturing scale and capability, positioning the company for long-term global leadership”.
