Beech-Nut To Build $125M 'Green' Plant

FLORIDA, NY-Beech-Nut Nutrition Corp. is breaking ground on a new 555,000-sf manufacturing and headquarters facility here in Montgomery County.

FLORIDA, NY-Officials with Beech-Nut Nutrition Corp. joined state and local officials in revealing that the firm is breaking ground on a new 635,000-sf facility in Montgomery County that will house its infant-food production operations as well as serve as its corporate headquarters. Plans for the $125-million project were originally revealed last year and included shifting the company’s corporate headquarters to the site.

Beech-Nut Nutrition currently is housing its headquarters staff in temporary space at 13 British American Blvd. in Latham, NY. The new plant will eventually replace the company’s existing manufacturing plants in Canajoharie and Fort Plain. The 100-plus year old facility in Canajoharie suffered extensive damage during the Mohawk River flooding in June 2006, which scrapped prior plans to undertake a more modest equipment upgrade of the facility, state officials note. The company will employ 356 people, which will include 135 news jobs, at the new facility once it is completed sometime in 2010. New York State is expected to be offering the company, which began operations in Canajoharie in 1891 as a meat production concern, significant incentives in connection with the project. The baby-food company is now a subsidiary of the Hero Group of Lenzburg, Switzerland.
