August 19, 2026

SANY Nutrition Group is investing more than $30 million in a food manufacturing facility in Jonesboro, Arkansas. 

The company acquired and remodeled a facility that once belonged to Butterball. Operations have already begun. SANY Nutrition plans to create over 150 new jobs in three years.

SANY Nutrition Group is built on six different pillars, allowing a variety of healthy, protein-rich snacks and indulgent bites to be manufactured locally. The company offers both branded and private label selections in every pillar.

“SANY Nutrition Group is an innovative protein snack manufacturing company that combines the speed and fearless mindset of a start-up with the technology, expertise and scale of a global organization,” says Investor Angela Pernsteiner. “Through tailor-made formulation, premium ingredients, state-of-the-art equipment and European-American process excellence, we transform bold ideas into distinctive, shelf-ready products — in weeks, not years. We chose Jonesboro, Arkansas, for its business-friendly climate, dependable supply-chain infrastructure and skilled workforce — an ideal combination for fast-moving food manufacturing.”

This opening coincides with InnovAsian’s recent groundbreaking on a processing facility in Jonesboro.
