The plant brings Bauducco’s full wafer lineup under a Made in USA designation for the first time, operating at double the production capacity of what the brand previously had available for the American market.

EIC Alyse Thompson-Richards highlights recent food and beverage industry developments, including Ferrara’s South Carolina plant, Ferrero’s line installation, Conagra Brands’ expansion in Arkansas, Walmart’s new milk processing facility, Kraft Heinz’s investment in Canada, and Swaggerty Farms’ expansion.

The partnership is made possible through a farmer-backed investment from MMPA’s member-owners, who have invested both capital and trust in a shared future.

The move marks a shift in CRISP POWER's U.S. expansion strategy, going from an import-based model to stateside production to meet accelerating consumer and retailer demand.

The facility supports a range of production capabilities — from premium ice cream novelties to bulk formats and custom dairy formulations.

The site features next-gen machinery capable of producing in one hour what previously took a day. 

Once operational, the 155,000-sq.-ft. facility will enhance the Canadian company’s processing capacity, increase procurement from Ontario farms and support economic growth across rural communities.
