The King Arthur Flour Company has announced a ribbon cutting ceremony for its new manufacturing facility will take place at 4:30 pm Thursday, May 1 at 117 Billings Farm Road.
“The new facility will improve our flexibility, capacity and efficiency,” said Dean Hopkins, Director of Manufacturing. King Arthur Flour produces and packages over 275 premium-quality baking mixes, tools and ingredients in its Vermont location for retail sale through its wholesale customers, Baker’s Catalogue and Vermont store.
“We’ve operated out of a corner of our fulfillment center for many years. With this bigger, dedicated space, we can introduce more specialty products,” said Mark Tecca, Director of New Business Development. The new manufacturing facility also houses a chocolate room for the production of hand-made artisan chocolates.
Production in the new location is set to start immediately.
