New 40,000 square foot facility will enable Sabra to further expedite product delivery to retail
Sabra Dipping Company, LLC (Sabra), maker of America’s favorite hummus, broke ground this morning on an expansion of the world’s largest hummus-making facility, based in Chesterfield County, VA. The 40,000 square foot expansion will enable Sabra to further expedite product delivery to retail, which means getting freshly-made hummus into consumer hands and homes sooner. The new addition more than doubles Sabra’s finished goods storage capacity, lays the groundwork for future packaging customization capabilities and will result in an improved carbon footprint. Sabra expects to add 12 full-time positions upon completion of the expansion, which will be designed to maintain Gold certification under the US Green Building Council’s LEED certification program.
“America’s favorite hummus is made in America, right here in Chesterfield County, Virginia,” said Tomer Harpaz, Sabra’s Chief Executive Officer. “Today, we break ground on what will be the fourth expansion on this campus, reflecting both Sabra’s growth to date and the anticipated continued brand and category evolution we envision for the near future. Already, we are witnessing the way hummus consumption in the US is shifting from special occasion dip to an everyday feel good food. As a proud employer in the region, we are thrilled that this expansion will allow us to welcome additional people to the Sabra family.”
