TROY, Ohio (WDTN) - ConAgra Foods announced March 3, 2010 it's moving its entire Slim Jim production line from Garner, N.C. to Troy, Ohio.
In Troy, the ConAgra Foods facility will add 74,000 square feet and four production lines over the next 12 to 15 months to increase its capacity as it becomes the primary Slim Jim meat snack manufacturer.
The company will add another 190 employees in Troy to its current workforce of nearly 400 employees.
“We truly value the commitment that our Garner employees and the entire Garner community have shown over the past several months,” ConAgra Foods CEO Gary Rodkin said. “This was an incredibly difficult decision, but a decision that allows us to leverage economies of scale in Troy, which is necessary for the good of our business over the long term.”
Slim Jim production began last year at the Troy plant.
The current facility in Graner, N.C. will close in late 2011.
