Tanimura & Antle hit pay dirt when it located its newest prepared-salad plant in the Hoosier state.
Devising new products wasn’t a criterion when agents for Tanimura & Antle Inc. (T&A) were scouting locations for a prepared-salad plant in the Great Lakes region. The country’s largest independent grower of lettuce was simply continuing its eastward expansion over the last four years, beginning with a processing facility in Montreal and an Atlanta area site two years ago. To reach cities such as Chicago, Detroit and Indianapolis, another plant was needed, ideally in Illinois or Indiana.
