Project adds over 80 new jobs, improves
environmental footprint with new onsite flour mill
Campbell Soup Company (NYSE: CPB) today announced it is
investing approximately $160 million in its Richmond, Utah,
manufacturing facility to expand production of Goldfish crackers to
help meet increased consumer demand. The new line will increase the
bakery’s output of Goldfish by 50 percent and produce over 5
million Goldfish per hour or 1,500 Goldfish every second. The
expansion also includes the construction of an onsite flour mill
that will be separately owned and operated.
“Goldfish is an iconic brand that is quickly approaching a
billion-dollar business, and this investment demonstrates our
commitment to the growth of our brands and the communities where we
operate,” said Chris Foley, Executive Vice President and President,
Campbell Snacks. “
With a bakery in Richmond and operations in Logan, the company
currently employs more than 400 people in the Cache Valley region
and will add more than 80 jobs with this investment. The bakery,
which has made Pepperidge Farm products for 50 years, was recently
named one of the top employers in Northern Utah by the Cache Valley
Daily and Cache Valley Media Group.
As part of the project, Utah Flour Milling, LLC will build a
flour mill adjacent and connected to the Campbell bakery. The
onsite mill is a partnership between PHM Brands’ Panhandle Milling
and NIPPN CORPORATION. The mill will increase supply reliability,
provide capacity for continued growth, and improve plant
efficiency. In addition, the mill will reduce the site’s greenhouse
gas emissions by eliminating over 2,200 trucks per year
transporting the flour from mill to bakery.
The company expects the new Goldfish line to be operational by
the end of 2024. This is Campbell’s third Goldfish capacity
expansion in the past two years, following bakery expansions in
Lakeland, Florida and Willard, Ohio.
