ST. LOUIS, July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Deli Star
Corporation is establishing its new headquarters in Missouri. Company executives announced today
that after exploring several locations for their new headquarters,
they selected St. Louis,
Missouri.
"After conducting a thorough search across multiple states, we are
thrilled to call Missouri Deli Star's new home."
"After conducting a thorough search across multiple states, we
are thrilled to call Missouri Deli Star's new home," said
Justin Siegel, Deli Star CEO. "The
Missouri team, including Missouri
Partnership, played a pivotal role in the selection process by
understanding our needs and working to support our business
expansion and ultimately the state of Missouri. We look forward to a successful
future in the Show Me State!"
Deli Star is a leading provider of high quality, sustainably
cooked proteins. The company will produce Deli Star's sous-vide
proteins, slow cooked meats, deli logs, protein salads, sauces and
plant-based proteins at the new food manufacturing facility in
St. Louis.
"We are excited to welcome Deli Star Corporation to Missouri," Governor Mike Parson said. "Deli Star will bring nearly
$100 million in investment to our
state and create nearly 500 new jobs in the St. Louis region. Missouri is a great place for food sector
companies like Deli Star to find success, and we look forward to
seeing this company grow in our state and provide new opportunities
for Missourians."
After an extensive, highly competitive search, Deli Star
selected St. Louis thanks in part
to its highly-skilled and available talent pool, low business
costs, and world-class quality of living. The company was
previously headquartered in Illinois – just outside of St. Louis.
Ameren Missouri, City of St.
Louis, Greater St. Louis,
Inc., Missouri Department of Economic Development, Missouri
Development Finance Board, Missouri Partnership, Spire, St. Louis
Economic Development Partnership, and St. Louis Development
Corporation worked in partnership to bring Deli Star to
Missouri.
"We were very fortunate to work with our economic development
partners to help bring Deli Star to Missouri, and keep it in the greater
St. Louis region," said Subash
Alias, Missouri Partnership CEO. "Deli Star was approached by
numerous states and communities as it began looking for a location
to rebuild its headquarters. The fact that we were able to keep it
in the region is a testament to the strengths of both our
workforce, and our overall business climate. We have had a lot of
interest by food processing companies here in Missouri. I look forward to seeing Deli Star
Corporation thrive here in our state."
Construction is set to begin this summer, and Deli Star plans to
start production at the 110,000 sq. ft. facility in early 2022.
