The expansion, expected to begin this spring and roll out over the next several years, is the second major expansion for Lindt US in the last decade.
Upon completion of the total expansion efforts, the campus is expected to have more than a million square feet of space for production, storage and distribution, enabling Lindt to continue to produce premium chocolate products from bean to finished product at an increased capacity.
The facility in Stratham is one of eight Lindt & Sprungli manufacturing sites in the world and the only Lindt facility in North America.
Construction will begin at Lindt US with a 108,000 sq ft addition, nearly doubling the size of the campus’ main building. The new manufacturing building will house additional premium chocolate production lines to meet company growth.
Newly added product lines include the Lindt Hello collection, which launched in June 2013, Lindor single-serve bars and Excellence individually wrapped dark chocolate diamonds, the latest extension to the company’s premium dark chocolate collection.
The building expansion will also lead to increased storage and distribution capabilities and generate new jobs.
