Freshpet, a pet food and treats manufacturer, recently announced it will build a 99,000-square-foot innovation kitchen near its existing location in Hanover Township in the Lehigh Valley.
Freshpet leased land from J.G. Petrucci Co., a privately held development firm specializing in design/build construction. Iron Hill Construction Management, a J.G. Petrucci subsidiary, will construct the facility.
The facility will house some of Freshpet’s new manufacturing operations to produce innovative new products. It is scheduled to open during the second half of 2023.
“The Lehigh Valley has been a wonderful community and partner to Freshpet since Freshpet began operations in Quakertown in 2006,” Billy Cyr, Freshpet CEO, said. “We moved to our current Kitchens facility here in 2013, expanded it twice, and we are excited to continue that legacy by constructing our new Innovation Kitchen in the Valley. Freshpet’s commitment to constant innovation and providing our pets the highest quality fresh, nutritious, real food is unwavering. This new Innovation Kitchen is yet another step in our evolution and will focus solely on our new manufacturing technologies and product innovations to help propel our business forward and build upon the industry leadership position that we hold today.”
