Ferrero USA, Inc., part of the global confectionery company Ferrero Group, today announced the opening of a new distribution center in Goodyear, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix. The newly constructed facility located at 3600 Cotton Lane is 643,798 square feet and projected to begin operating by mid-March. The company plans to add 50 local jobs at the center within its first year of operation.
In recent months, Ferrero has expanded its North American headquarters in New Jersey, opened a new distribution center in Pennsylvania, and assumed management of two manufacturing plants in Bloomington and Franklin Park, Illinois.
The Goodyear facility adds capacity for the company to distribute its growing portfolio of brands, including Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, and Crunch, throughout North America. Over time, the facility will distribute the company’s other brands, including Ferrero Rocher, Nutella, Tic Tac and Kinder, to support overall company growth.
