Ferrero to expand New York ice cream plant, add more than 200 jobs
The sweets giant said the project underscores its long-term growth and leadership in the novelty category following its purchase of Blue Bunny and Halo Top maker Wells Enterprises.
Ferrero’s Wells Enterprises ice cream business plans to expand its Dunkirk, New York manufacturing facility, which would add more than 200 new jobs and underscore the company’s long-term presence in the category.
The Dunkirk facility plays an important role in the company’s expansion plans for national manufacturing of its Blue Bunny, Halo Top, Bomb Pop and Blue Ribbon Classics brands, Ferrero said. The expansion is anticipated to more than double the facility’s current production output and help support the company’s plans for growth in novelty and packaged ice cream.
Construction on the facility is expected to start in the fall. The establishment should be operational by late 2025.
Ferrero, known in the U.S. for its Nutella spread, golden-wrapped Ferrero Rochers and minty Tic Tacs, has rapidly expanded its presence in the U.S. in recent years through M&A.
The expansion at the New York ice cream plant is the latest to be announced by the European company as it grows businesses it has recently acquired in the U.S. In 2022, Ferrero said it would add its first-ever U.S. chocolate processing plant to an existing building in Illinois that will make the ingredient for candies including Crunch, 100Grand and Raisinets.
