FOOD ENGINEERING Announces 2025 Plant of the Year Award Winner
The award will be presented at the Food Automation & Manufacturing Symposium and Expo in April.
Carolina Foods’ Pineville, N.C. facility has won FOOD ENGINEERING magazine’s Plant of the Year for 2025.
The state-of-the-art headquarters and production facility is part of a strategic growth plan that began three years ago with an investment from Charlotte-based private equity firm Falfurrias Capital Partners, which specializes in growing middle-market businesses. The new facility adds 425,000 sq. ft. to Carolina Foods’ previously existing 100,000 sq. ft. of operations creating such baked goods as Duchess Honey Buns, donuts, pastries and pies.
