Materne has begun domestic production for the first time through a partnership with Cherry Growers fruit processor in Michigan (US), which will provide more than 120 jobs to residents in the surrounding Traverse City area.
GoGo squeeZ launched in the US in June 2008. GoGo squeeZ was originally founded in France where it is known as Pom’Potes. Since the brand’s US expansion in 1998, Materne has sold more than 1.9 billion pouches to families around the world.
North American managing director, Meena Mansharamani, said: “This new US operation at Cherry Growers is just the beginning of building a locally sustainable business for Materne North America. Materne is completely committed to job creation and offering healthy snack solutions for busy families to foster a playful way for kids to be a little healthier each day.”
