WINCHESTER, VA-Northfield, IL-based Kraft Foods has begun the $29 million expansion project at its Frederick County fruit drinks and Lunchables plant. Local contractor Howard Shockey & Sons bid on the job in January and expect to complete additions to two of the buildings at 220 Park Center Drive by Sept. 30.

“There are two upgrades we’re doing,” Howard Shockey’s director of business development Daniel Enlow tells GlobeSt.com. “They are two separate buildings. The processing area will be expanded by 15,000 sf and the cold storage area by 17,000 sf.” While the plant produces Kraft products such as Kool-Aid, Tang and Oscar Mayer Lunchables, the construction is planned to accommodate additional production of the company’s Capri Sun fruit drink product. The current project, which includes the addition of more machinery and tools, marks the third facility expansion in the plant’s 10-year history.
