Sonnax has entered into a contract to purchase the Ben & Jerry's
Distribution Warehouse in Bellows Falls, VT.
Closing for the transaction
is scheduled for Oct. 1, 2003. Reconfiguration and renovation will take
approximately two months after the closing, and they expect to be fully
operational in December of 2003.
All finished goods ready for sale will be
located in the new facility. In addition, the Engineering Department and a
new Technical Center for the development of new products will be based in
the new facility. Expansion is expected to add at least seventy-five jobs
over the next five years.
