Nestle USA to Expand 2 Frozen Food Lines
Nestle USA, headquartered in Glendale, will invest $30.2 million in its frozen food plant in Solon, Ohio, this year to expand production of its highly successful Stouffer and Lean Cuisine lines, the company announced.
The Nestle brands comprise 27.6% of the $4.8-million healthy frozen food category, with more than half of the $144 million growth last year due to new products or distribution of the Stouffer line, said Nestle spokeswoman Roz O’Hearn. “We want to continue that pace,” she said.
Nestle will add 109 full-time jobs and 105 part-time jobs to its plant work force of 1,400, she said.
Under a tax abatement agreement with the city of Solon, Nestle will save $4.8 million in taxes during the next 10 years, while the expansion and added jobs will bring an estimated $3.3 million in new revenues to city coffers during the same period, she said.
