Bonduelle Americas is establishing Philadelphia as its digital forward Growth Hub — a move designed to accelerate growth and transform how the company competes in today's rapidly evolving food landscape.
The announcement, made alongside Governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro and Mayor of Philadelphia, Cherelle Parker, reflects a deliberate choice to locate in one of the country's strongest food and retail corridors.
"We want to win within the U.S. with innovative, chef-crafted healthy choices, meal solutions and fresh services," said Bobby Chacko, CEO of Bonduelle Americas. "That means competing across the store and digital shelf, moving faster, and surrounding ourselves with the right talent and partners to do it. Philadelphia brings the kind of energy, grit, and food heritage that fuels how we build — and how we win."
Bonduelle Americas is the U.S. subsidiary of Groupe Bonduelle, a 170+ year family-owned B Corp. In the U.S., the business is evolving beyond its fresh-cut roots to build a modern plant-rich food portfolio across the store — from produce to center aisle — designed for how people actually eat today.
The Growth Hub anchors that strategy. Phase 1 operations are now active at the 4th Floor of 2400 Market Street. A permanent Phase 2 location is targeted for 2028 as the company continues to scale its presence in the region. The company expects to create over 100 roles locally over time.
The Philadelphia Growth Hub joins Bonduelle Americas' existing U.S. footprint — operations in California, New Jersey and Georgia — and positions the company to scale its plant-rich food business across the store and beyond.
