It’s official: Belgium-based Lotus Bakeries, maker of the popular Biscoff cookies served by airlines, will open its first U.S manufacturing operation in Alamance County, a $50 million facility that will employ 60 by Dec. 31, 2020.
The announcement was made Friday by Gov. Pat McCrory.
The facility to be built by Greensboro-based Samet Corp. at the N.C. Industrial Center in Mebane “is a strong fit for our state’s food manufacturing industry,” MCrory said. “This company recognizes that North Carolina’s convenient location, excellent business climate and well- trained workforce will support its North American growth strategy.”
