Nature’s Bakery has opened a $240 million plant in Utah’s capital, part of Mars’ pledge to invest $2 billion into U.S. manufacturing.

The snack-food maker Nature’s Bakery opened its third U.S. manufacturing facility Wednesday in a Salt Lake City neighborhood — promising to create more than 230 jobs in Utah.

Officials for Mars Inc., the parent company of Nature’s Bakery, said at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday that the 339,000-square-foot facility at 2331 N. 2200 West in the Mountain West neighborhood cost the company $240 million to get off the ground. It is part of Mars’ pledge to invest $2 billion into U.S. manufacturing by 2026.
