Home Market Foods (HMF), a US meat products manufacturer, has acquired a former pasta plant in Connecticut for an undisclosed sum. The company plans to invest over $70 million to upgrade the facility in South Windsor, with the goal of creating 210 jobs by 2027.
This strategic move is part of HMF’s expansion plan to enhance production capabilities and meet the increasing demand in the food and beverage industry. CEO Doug Atamian expressed optimism about the new plant, stating that it presents a significant opportunity to innovate meal solutions for consumers across North America.
The updated facility is set to open in June 2025, chosen in part for its access to skilled labor. HMF has already commenced recruitment for various positions, including engineers, maintenance workers, managers, and production line workers.
Established in 1957, Home Market Foods owns popular brands like Cooked Perfect, RollerBites, and Bahama Mama. The company distributes its products to over 175 retailers and distributors, including foodservice channels, in the US, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. The Eisenberg hot dog brand, a product of HMF, is widely sold in arenas, theatres, restaurants, schools, and amusement parks nationwide.
