The $35 million expansion will expand the 100,000-square-foot facility to a total of 350,000 square feet.
Dot Foods, Mt. Sterling, Ill., announced plans to expand its operations in Washington County, Md., a move that will add 100 new jobs by 2023, a majority of them as high-wage warehouse positions for Dot Foods and Class A drivers for Dot Foods’ trucking subsidiary, Dot Transportation, Inc. The 2-phase project is expected to begin in spring 2017, with an anticipated completion of 2019.
“This expansion of space and workforce will allow Dot Foods Maryland to boost its capacity from the current 450 million pounds per year to 700 million pounds per year,” says Brian Duffield, Maryland general manager. “This expansion shows Dot’s continued commitment to the Williamsport and Washington County areas.”
