LEBANON, TN — Bridgetown Natural Foods (BNF) officials, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and Stuart C. McWhorter, department of economic development commissioner, have announced the company will invest $78.3 million in a manufacturing and distribution facility in Lebanon, TN, to expand BNF’s Oregon-based operations.
“At Bridgetown, our community is an important stakeholder in our business,” said Dan Klock, CEO of Bridgetown Natural Foods. “We are excited to expand in Tennessee and look forward to building our team and making a positive impact in the Lebanon community. Together, we will make the food we want our families to eat.”
This facility, the second location for the company outside of its West Coast headquarters, will create 219 new jobs in the area.
Housing multiple manufacturing lines, the facility will produce nearly 100 million pounds of Bridgetown’s organic and gluten-free snack brands annually and optimize distribution to the East Coast more efficiently by cutting down on delivery times and shipping costs.
