A 52,000-square-foot building will be the latest construction of a three-phased project that will give Blue Diamond Growers 500,000 square feet of building space over the next nine years.
This phase is scheduled to be completed in spring 2020. The expansion will see the installation of new automated processing and packaging equipment.
Mark Jansen, Blue Diamond Growers’ president and CEO, said on Tuesday (29 January): “We are creating the healthiest almond products and delivering the benefits of almonds to the world. This project allows Blue Diamond to meet the growing demand for our innovative almond products.”
