A champion in affordable and sustainable dairy equivalents, Flora Food Group announced the purchase of a manufacturing facility located in Hugoton, Kansas. Formally known as Upfield Group, the Flora Food Group now has 15 owned sites across five continents.
“With the acquisition of this new facility, we are thrilled to have a unique opportunity to expand our creams business,” said Jim Breach, President. “Building on the existing, state-of-the-art infrastructure and trained workforce residing in the local community, we look forward to bringing more folks into the Flora Food Group family as well as continuing to produce our kitchen and pantry staple items here in America’s heartland and across our broader Americas region.”
The acquisition of the Hugoton facility and further investments planned for the site will support the company’s creams business in the region and help fulfill its growth plans. The creams category is one of Flora Food Group’s four growing categories, and a priority for development.
According to a press release, the facility will serve as the hub for Flora Food Group’s creams and cream cheeses products for the United States, Canada, and across the rest of the Americas region over time. Meanwhile its existing New Century, Kansas, facility will continue to serve as the U.S. hub for Flora Food Group’s butters and spreads products.
