Glanbia will open offices and an innovation centre in downtown Twin Falls. The company is expected to spend $15m on renovating the 35,000 sqft offices and 4,000 sqft innovation centre with work due to be completed by March 2013.
The site will initially employ 100 staff but this figure is predicted to rise to 150 in due course.
Idaho is already the focus of Glanbia’s cheese production and the company distributes 375,000 tons of the product from the state to more than 30 countries each year. Glanbia currently operates three sites in Idaho, including the company’s cheese division and a nutritional products centre.
Jeff Williams, Glanbia’s chief executive, said: “As we have grown, and as needs in the cheese market change, it was essential to ensure our team is located under one roof and [continue to] meet the requirements of our customers and the marketplace.”
