Flagship Food Group is to expand its manufacturing and distribution facilities in the Albuquerque area with a 76,000 square-foot frozen food distribution warehouse.
As part of a $30 million investment, the new facility will also include a research and development centre, offices and an interactive museum that pays tribute to New Mexico’s food culture.
The warehouse will operate with a state-of-the-art inventory tracking system currently used in Flagship’s other warehouse facility.
Flagship COO Carlos Angulo said: “As our Southwestern food portfolio has doubled in size in only a few short years, we needed a facility that would warehouse our products and support our customers across the country with extreme efficiency and reliability.
“Working with our amazing team of operators and professionals, we’ve taken the project from concept to a fully-operational facility in less than one year.”
Flagship said that the state of New Mexico has continued to show support for the company and its investment. State Governor Susana Martinez said yesterday: “Since day one, we’ve been fighting hard to make New Mexico more competitive with surrounding states through reforms like cutting taxes and streamlining regulations.”
Flagship Food Group is headquartered in Colorado and it has more than 500 employees. Its brands include TJ Farms, Lilly B’s, 505 Southwestern, Chris & Pitts, and Su Ming.
