USA: Palermo Villa to build a new facility in Wisconsin

Palermo Villa, a leading US manufacturer of branded and private label frozen pizza, has announced plans to build a 200,000 sq ft production facility in West Milwaukee, WI.

Founded in 1964, Palermo Villa has a brand portfolio that includes Palermo’s Pizza, Screamin’ Sicilian, Urban Pie Pizza Co., Surfer Boy, Connie’s Pizza, and Funky Fresh Spring Rolls.

Commenting on the move, Palermo chief executive officer Giacomo Fallucca said: “Our priority is to keep market competitive jobs local and that means growth at our company headquarters on Canal Street in Milwaukee, continuing to increase capacity at our recently added Jefferson, Wis., facility, and now the development in West Milwaukee”.

Demands in the marketplace and increasing headcount necessitated the new facility, the company said.

Construction is scheduled to begin in August and is expected to be completed in June 2025.
