The 165 million dollar Nestle frozen food
plant at Jonesboro already has 400 people working. Today, the plant
will be dedicated by company officials and Governor Huckabee.
The plant is producing Stouffer`s and Lean Cuisine frozen meals.
Nestle announced the venture in July 2001, the largest capital
investment ever undertaken by the company. Nestle has 50
billion dollars in annual sales.
Testing on production lines at the plan started in March, and
production began last month. The company expects to have
one-thousand people working when production gets up to speed.
Also at the site is Millard Refrigerated Services, which will
employ 65 people.
