Cereal Ingredients is investing $24 million to build a new food manufacturing facility in Missouri, US.
The 80,000-square-foot plant will be located in St. Joseph and feature new technology that will enable Cereal Ingredients to expand its product line.
The food solutions company – which develops and markets new food ingredients – plans to hire nearly 50 employees with the establishment of the facility.
“We are very pleased to have Cereal Ingredients select St. Joseph for its first expansion outside of its campus in Leavenworth, Kansas,” said R. Patt Lilly, president and CEO of the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Partnership.
“Cereal Ingredients is an established company providing innovative and quality products for the food industry. We appreciate the confidence of the company’s leadership team to select and invest in St. Joseph and create such excellent jobs.”
Cereal Ingredients CEO, Robert Hatch, added: “Cereal Ingredients is excited to open a state-of-the-art food manufacturing facility in St. Joseph. The goodwill we have built with our customers has allowed us the opportunity to expand.”
The project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2022.
