The new facility will be one of the largest manufacturing sites for the Chomps brand and is expected to create approximately 250 full-time jobs, with potential for future expansion.

The expanded facility includes the addition of a new single-serve aseptic juice production line and a 104,000-sq.-ft. distribution center.

Production from the Nashville facility will support Smithfield's existing portfolio of dry sausage brands including Margherita, Carando and Armour.

The expansion is anticipated to more than quadruple the facility's current production output and help support the company's continued plans for growth in novelty and packaged ice cream.

Integrated design-build firm A M King has begun a large-scale renovation of a Savannah, Ga.-area facility for MANA Nutrition Inc. that will produce the non-profit’s ready-to-use therapeutic food and ready-to-use supplemental food.

The expansion, in South Windsor, Conn., comes as part of the company's strategic plan to expand its production capabilities, innovate and meet strong demand for its meal solutions products.

The new facility will boost the company’s presence in growing edible oil and animal feed markets, and will create opportunities in renewable energy feedstock markets.
