Puratos Corporation in Pennsauken held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new $42 million, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility on Wednesday, November 9th. Puratos is a $1.4 billion international company with a full range of innovative products, applications and expertise in the bakery, patisserie and chocolate sectors. With the new, 170,000 square foot
manufacturing facility, which features many green, energy-saving elements, it will almost double the size of the plant, and local employment will reach 230 between the two Camden County locations. The plant will produce a variety of bakery improvers, bases, mixes, icings, glazes, fruit and cream fillings. The county, through its economic development team, will assist the company in their ongoing recruitment of employees through programs at the Camden County One Stop Employment Center. Pennsauken Township helped clear their path on the local, state and county level.
