Puris, Minneapolis, opened a new facility in Dawson, Minn., that more than doubles its production capacity for pea protein. The facility was retrofitted from an existing dairy plant and is expected to add nearly 100 new jobs. The site supports continued growth for Puris Proteins, a joint venture between Puris and Minneapolis-based Cargill and will enable the companies to supply roughly half of North America's pea protein. Puris has the only vertically integrated, multi-plant pea protein production model in the United States, according to the company. Its yellow field peas are bred for superior yield and disease resistance while improving the soil.
