Irresistible Foods Group, a US bread and pickles manufacturer, has announced that the firm has recently broken ground on a new facility near Columbus (IN) for its Grillo’s Pickles brand.
According to sources, the new 155,000 sq ft facility is part of the company’s efforts to expand in the Midwest and meet growing demand for fresh pickles.
The new plant will sit alongside another being built for the sweet bread brand King’s Hawaiian, projected to open in 2026.
Commenting on the move, Adam Kaufman, president & CEO of Grillo’s Pickles said: “Our pickles use a century-old family recipe and contain no artificial preservatives, Grillo’s Pickles are packed, shipped, and sold refrigerated. For our new production site, it was important to us to find a central U.S. location with a skilled workforce and supportive business environment, and we are very excited to be in Bartholomew County, Indiana”.
The firm is investing $54 million in the new facility, which is expected to create 150 jobs.
