Goya Foods has announced an $80 million expansion of its manufacturing and distribution facility in Brookshire, Texas. The expansion includes the purchase of new, state-of-the-art food processing equipment that will enable the company to double production capacity in order to meet the increased consumer demand for its products. Goya is the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States.
“Goya is committed to meeting increased consumer demand for our products from all consumers across the United States and abroad. We are grateful for the overwhelming support of the Goya brand, and we are fortunate to be able to give back to communities around the globe, donating millions of pounds of food through our Goya Gives program,” said Bob Unanue, president and CEO, of the Texas expansion plans.
This investment supports the production of the product line including the company’s expanded organic offerings.
The Texas facility sits on a 130-acre farm and has served as the prime hub for the manufacturing and distribution of Goya products in the West. It also provides key access to a skilled workforce, a favorable business climate, railroad transportation and a launching pad for global export.
Founded in 1936, the company manufactures, packages and distributes more than 2,500 food products from Spain, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America.
