Enjoy Life Foods plans new Ind. manufacturing facility

CHICAGO — Mondelez International’s Enjoy Life Foods announced Wednesday that it would be opening a new allergy-friendly manufacturing facility in Jeffersonville, Ind. The new facility is expected to open in the second quarter of 2016, and the company’s current Schiller Park, Ill. facility will be closed in the third quarter. 

 

“The growth opportunity afforded by this new facility is an exciting step forward for our brand,” said Scott Mandell, CEO and Founder of Enjoy Life Foods. “We’ve outgrown capacity at our current facility. This new plant will improve overall manufacturing efficiency while providing the space for us to accelerate growth and bring our delicious allergy-friendly and gluten-free snacks to even more people.”

 

The company said the facility is expected to create between 100 and 150 jobs in the area, with potentially more as it expands.
