WHITELAND, IN — Food manufacturer Sugar Foods is poised for growth with its latest investment in a 617,000-square-foot production and distribution facility in Whiteland, IN.

“This investment in Whiteland is an important milestone in Sugar Foods’ growth story,” said Andrea Brule, president and CEO of Sugar Foods. “By expanding our national footprint in a strategic location, we can serve our customers even better — with the capacity, reliability and innovation they need to grow their own businesses.”

The Whiteland facility will support the company’s distribution network and bolster its shipping capabilities. Additionally, the investment will factor in room for manufacturing growth as well as provide employment opportunities in the region.

“Having spent much of my career in logistics, I understand how strategic Indiana is for moving products efficiently across the country,” said Indiana Gov. Mike Braun. “Our state’s role as the Crossroads of America makes Whiteland a smart choice for Sugar Foods as it strengthens its distribution network and expands manufacturing capacity. This investment will bring new, high-paying jobs to our state and further reinforce our position as a national hub for production and distribution.”

Whiteland will join Sugar Foods’ pool of five manufacturing and distribution facilities housed throughout the US and in Mexico. This investment will, in turn, help the company support its portfolio of brands, including Fresh Gourmet.
