The investment was supported by a performance-based US$550,000 forgivable loan from the state of Louisiana.
Elmer’s range, which include chocolates, caramels, truffles and crèmes, along with seasonal specials, are available in retailers across the US including Walmart, Bi-Lo and WinCo.
CEO Robert Nelson said: “Our expansion, right here at home, provides a unique US manufacturing model that translates into highly skilled jobs for our associates and ensures the maximum level of quality control and food safety.”
