Newly Weds Foods opened two new manufacturing facilities in 2014; Erlanger, Kentucky and Auckland, New Zealand.

auklandNZThe Erlanger facility is our 16th North American location, encompassing 326,000 square ft. Production of Japanese Style Bread Crumb started Sept. 15th, 2014. A blending line went live on November 1st and future plans include Crackermeal production. This new facility also maintains a fully staffed and equipped R&D lab.

The Erlanger facility employes 52 people and will continue to grow as production increases. While the facility may be brand new, the practices and traditions of Newly Weds Foods that makes us a global leader in food ingredients is not a new concept to the Erlanger team. Plant Manager, Bart Pilarski, along with 66% of the management team transferred their knowledge and expertise from other Newly Weds Foods plants. In order to maintain the consistency of quality that customers expect from Newly Weds Foods, more than 90 percent of the staff completed their initial training at other locations throughout the country.

North America is not the only part of the globe to see Newly Weds Foods expand. In June, Newly Weds Foods Asia Pacific opened a new plant in Auckland, New Zealand. Newly Weds Foods has maintained a sales presence in New Zealand since 1995, however the new 9,100 square foot plant will feature blending lines for both seasoning and breading. The facility will also include a culinary center to help expand Newly Weds Foods global perspective on market trends.
