Nestle Purina PetCare on Monday said it will invest $550 million
to build a new factory in Williamsburg Township, Ohio, to meet the
growing demand for its pet foods.
The company said the new facility will be its 22nd in the U.S.,
and is its first new factory built from the ground up since
1975.
In September, the company said it will convert a former brewery
in Eden, N.C., into a pet food factory.
Nestle Purina Petcare also said that construction of the 1.2
million-square-foot facility in Ohio will begin this fall, adding
that the facility is expected to be operational by 2023. By 2024,
it said, it will employ over 300 people at the site, including
professional staff, production operators, technical staff and
engineers.
