Turkey Hill plans to invest in manufacturing

Turkey Hill, a manufacturer and distributor of ice cream and refrigerated drinks, recently announced that it will invest in its manufacturing operations and will increase its hiring efforts.

The amount of the planned investment has not been disclosed.

“Turkey Hill is experiencing strong and growing consumer demand nationwide for its broad assortment of branded ice cream and refrigerated drinks,” John Cox, Turkey Hill CEO, said. “We as a company are focused on providing our consumers with high quality, authentic products with category-leading flavor variety.”

Investments will boost manufacturing operations and include facility renovations and enhancements, the latest technology and manufacturing capabilities, and capacity expansion.

Turkey Hill’s current facility consists of more than 72 acres and is wholly powered by renewable energy. It is one of the largest ice cream and refrigerated drinks production facilities in the United States.

The investment plan also includes the goal of attracting highly-qualified and talented employees by increasing its hiring efforts both in Eastern Pennsylvania and nationwide.

Located in Lancaster County, Turkey Hill was founded in 1931 and has doubled in size over the past 20 years. In April, an affiliate of Peak Rock Capital acquired Turkey Hill from The Kroger Co. It is now a standalone company.
