City officials in Boone have approved the project and the Iowa Economic Development Authority will provide $7m in funding for the facility, as well as tax benefits, according to a government statement.
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds said demand for the company’s products has created the need for an additional manufacturing facility.
“With a third of the nation’s top food manufacturers located in Iowa and 26% of our manufacturing industry attributed to food processing, Iowa and Daisy are a perfect fit,” Reynolds said.
“Daisy Brand’s investment in Iowa further reinforces our standing as a manufacturing powerhouse and reputation for fostering an environment where businesses succeed and grow.”
