Occupying a total area of 118,000 square metres, the factory would be Ezaki Glico’s second-largest plant in Japan. The spokesman said he expected annual sales from products made at the plant “could reach JPY10bn (US$1.2m), the same as our largest factory in Kobe city”.
The spokesperson added: “At the moment we have no plan to have it supply the markets overseas.”
The spokesman would not disclose other details, including how much money Ezaki Glico is spending on the plant. The company has a variety of businesses, including those manufacturing snacks, dairy and meat products.
