The award will be presented at the Food Automation & Manufacturing Symposium and Expo in April.
Carolina Foods’ Pineville, North Carolina, facility has won FOOD ENGINEERING magazine’s Plant of the Year for 2025.
The state-of-the-art headquarters and production facility is part of a strategic growth plan that began three years ago with an investment from Charlotte-based private equity firm Falfurrias Capital Partners, which specializes in growing middle-market businesses. The new facility adds 425,000 square feet to Carolina Foods’ previously existing 100,000-square-foot operations space, creating such baked goods as Duchess Honey Buns, donuts, pastries and pies.
A full profile of the plant and its design will be published as the April cover story of FOOD ENGINEERING, and the award will be presented at the annual Food Automation & Manufacturing Symposium and Expo, held April 14-16 at the Hilton Downtown Tampa in Tampa, Florida.
