Pinnacle Foods is planning to add 160 jobs
to its plant in Fayetteville.
The jobs are part of an eight million dollar expansion that
will make the plant the sole production point for all Swanson
frozen dinners sold nationwide.
Patrick Murray, manufacturing director of frozen foods for
Pinnacle, says the expansion will allow the Fayetteville plant to
assume production from a plant in Omaha, Nebraska, which is
closing.
The Fayetteville expansion is expected to be finished by the end
of the year.
The expansion, which includes a new line and upgrades to two
existing production lines at the plant, is the second in two years
made at the Fayetteville plant to make up for production lost from
the closing of Swanson facilities in Omaha.
