US-based fresh meal delivery provider FreshRealm has announced plans to expand its footprint in Montezuma, Georgia, creating over 300 new jobs.

FreshRealm is a ‘food-as-a-service' company offering a nationwide, end-to-end platform optimised for fresh food. Its solutions span various food industry segments, serving customers and partners in grocery, foodservice, hospitality, direct-to-consumer, medical meals and more.

The move – the result of a $6.3 million investment – will add enhancements and several new lines to its Montezuma site, allowing FreshRealm to provide a full assortment of products, including ready-to-heat and ready-to-cook meals and meal kits to customers in the region.

Snow Le, president of FreshRealm, said: “FreshRealm is building the most optimised fresh food platform in the world, so that everyone, every day, everywhere can enjoy fresh food. Montezuma is an excellent location for us to strategically reach the entire US, especially the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. We are proud to be expanding our operations in Georgia, a state with great fiscal strength and a clear dedication to businesses and communities.”

FreshRealm collaborated with Georgia Department of Economic Development’s (GDEcD) global commerce team on this project in partnership with the Development Authority of Macon County, Georgia Power and Georgia Quick Start.

GDEcD commissioner Pat Wilson commented: “A project of FreshRealm’s scale creates hundreds of jobs for families in Montezuma, Macon County, and communities in the surrounding region. FreshRealm’s investment is a continuation of Montezuma’s agricultural and food processing legacy that is shaping the future of these communities.”
