Nestlé Purina Petcare will invest 550 mio dollars in expanding its pet food manufacturing facility in Hartwell, Georgia, creating up to 130 jobs. The expansion comes just one year after the factory's grand opening in November 2019.
In 2017, Purina announced plans to open a wet pet food factory in Hartwell, with a commitment to invest 320 mio dollars and employ 240 people by 2023. As a result of growing demand for Purina's high-quality and nutritious pet care brands, the facility is expanding to add processing, packaging and warehouse capacity, for a total of 870 mio dollars committed to the company's Hartwell operations.
