Stuffed Puffs initially launched its product exclusively at Walmart stores but has plans to expand to all retailers nationwide.
The company, owned by local investment firm Factory, received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development for a US$670,000 Pennsylvania First grant, $268,000 in Job Creation Tax Credits and $140,400 in grants for workforce training and development towards the cost of the project.
At the opening ceremony, Richard Thompson, managing partner of Factory, said: “At Factory LLC we seek innovation and we know Stuffed Puffs is a big winner and the new plant will support our continued growth, because we can’t make it fast enough.”
