T. Marzetti breaks ground on 220-job expansion in Hart Co. By Crystal Staley/Jack Mazurak Horse Cave, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear joined executives from T. Marzetti Co. and local officials to break ground on the company's largest ever expansion, a 220-job, $133 million project to increase production of salad dressings, sauces and other foods for retail and foodservice markets. "This expansion by T. Marzetti highlights the tremendous continued growth of Kentucky's food and beverage sector, with the creation of hundreds of new job opportunities for residents in Central Kentucky," Gov. Beshear said. "We are building a better future here in the commonwealth, and I am proud T. Marzetti will continue to be a part of that growth well into the future. This is a great day for Hart County and the surrounding region, and I thank the leadership at T. Marzetti for furthering their commitment to our people." The ground breaking is the latest positive economic news for the commonwealth in recent days, highlighting that Kentucky is poised to thrive and lead in the post-COVID economy. T. Marzetti originally announced the project in February 2020 as a $93 million, 140-job expansion. After last year's pandemic put the project on pause, company leaders announced earlier this year their plans to not only move forward with the project, but increase its scope. Today, the company broke ground on the 184,500-square-foot expansion, which will increase manufacturing space. The company plans to purchase new equipment to increase dressing and sauce production, add eight new processing kitchens and create several packaging lines to meet growing customer demand. The expansion is expected to be completed by July 2022. T. Marzetti currently employs over 500 people at the facility. "We are proud to be expanding our operations in Horse Cave to better serve our customers and create additional jobs," said David Nagle, chief supply chain officer at T. Marzetti. "I want to thank our local partners, as well as our Horse Cave team members, for their support of this important project. Our people are what make us The Better Food Company." T. Marzetti Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Lancaster Colony Corp. headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, is a manufacturer and marketer of specialty food products for the retail and foodservice markets. The company's retail brands include Marzetti, New York Bakery, Sister Schubert's, Reames, Flatout, Angelic Bakehouse and Bantam Bagels, in addition to exclusive license agreements for Olive Garden dressings, Chick-fil-A sauces and Buffalo Wild Wings sauces. The company's foodservice business supplies many of the top restaurant chains in the United States. Sister Schubert's Homemade Rolls are also produced locally at T. Marzetti's Horse Cave facilities, adjacent to its Marzetti brand dips and dressings operation. Over the past two decades, T. Marzetti has announced approximately $313 million in investment with the creation of more than 780 jobs in Hart County. T. Marzetti is among the more than 350 food and beverage manufacturing, service and technology facilities located in Kentucky currently employing over 52,000 people. In 2020 alone, the industry announced 53 new location or expansion projects expected to create more than 1,500 full-time jobs with $974 million in announced investments.
