Nestlé USA, Glendale, Calif., announced plans to consolidate production of its HOT POCKETS brand sandwiches from its Chatsworth, Calif., facility to the Mt. Sterling, Ky., plant. Approximately 360 employees will be impacted by this decision.
The Mt. Sterling facility opened in1993, then doubled in size in 1996 with room for further expansion, if needed. Nestlé will invest $13 million in the Mt. Sterling facility, and will hire 150 new employees, as the operation converts to 24/7.
