At the end of the second quarter Enjoy Life Foods, a business unit of Mondelez International, will open its new plant in Jefferson-ville, Ind. The new plant will triple the company's square footage compared to its plant in Schiller Park, Ill., and quintuple production capacity, said Joel Warady, chief sales and marketing officer for the company. "This means we have to sell a lot more product," he said during an interview Jan. 17 at the Winter Fancy Food Show. "But that's not a bad thing. We have been working from a converted facility that was not built to be a food processing plant. We were making it work." The Schiller Park plant will be closed, and the new plant will allow the company to expand production beyond its core lines of allergy-friendly cookies, bars, baking mixes and snacks.
