Germany-based snacks manufacturer Intersnack is set to invest €85 million ($98 million) in its Alsbach plant.
Intersnack recently announced plans for a significant 10,000-square-metre expansion at its factory near Darmstadt. This extension will include a new production hall, along with an integrated logistics area.
The company’s modernization initiative aims to enhance production capacity while incorporating sustainability measures. By transitioning to renewable energy sources, Intersnack anticipates reducing its CO2 emissions by over 50%.
This modernization project will not only stabilize the employment of the facility’s 470 workers but also create new opportunities for future growth.
Jan van den Broek, Managing Director for Operations at Intersnack in Germany, stated: “As one of the market leaders in the salty snacks category, we want to continue our growth of recent years.
“Important prerequisites for this are sufficient capacities, state-of-the-art production technologies and qualified and committed employees.
“For this reason, we are investing in a long-term and secure future for the Alsbach site. A special focus is on increasing sustainability and optimizing our production processes.”
The construction of the extension at Alsbach is currently slated to commence in the summer of 2026, according to Intersnack.
The Cologne-based salty snacks company operates five production plants throughout Germany. Notably, the peanut butter brand Whole Earth was integrated into its portfolio in 2024.
Additionally, Intersnack owns well-known brands such as Estrella and McCoy’s.
