Home Market Foods (HMF), a leading US food manufacturer, has announced that it has acquired a former pasta production plant in South Windsor (CT) for an undisclosed sum, with the intention of turning it into a state-of-the-art meat processing facility.

HMF said it planned to invest $70 million to upgrade the site and equip it with advanced technology. The project is expected to generate 210 jobs by the end of 2027.

Founded in 1957, HMF is described as a manufacturer of meatballs, hot dogs, sausages and convenience store roller grill products. It distributes its products to more than 175 retailers and distributors across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Commenting on the acquisition, CEO Doug Atamian said: “This new plant represents a significant opportunity for Home Market Foods to further expand our manufacturing capabilities and to advance our meal solutions innovation to meet the growing needs of our consumers throughout North America”.

The upgraded facility is expected to open in June 2025.
