July 21, 2016 | 1 min to read
Brownsburg, Ind. – Weston Foods, a North American producer and marketer of baked goods, announced plans today to locate its new U.S. headquarters in Brownsburg.
“It’s clear that great things happen to states that cut taxes and red tape, just as we have here in Indiana,” said Governor Mike Pence. “Weston Foods is an international company, and could have located its U.S. headquarters anywhere. This company’s decision to locate in the Hoosier state demonstrates that companies choose to grow in business climates designed to support their success. Weston Foods is the latest company to pick Indiana for its headquarters, and we’re happy to welcome the company’s growth and new jobs to the Hoosier state."
The company will invest $1.6 million to renovate its 20,000-square-foot production facility for Maplehurst Bakeries – a subsidiary of Weston Foods – in Brownsburg to house the parent company's U.S headquarters. The company’s new U.S. headquarters will complement its global headquarters in Toronto, improve communication between its subsidiaries across the country and provide a centralized location for its U.S leadership when facility upgrades are complete in September. With construction currently underway, renovations at the Brownsburg facility will provide an open-concept office space and make updates to the entire facility, including a new kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, meeting spaces and a modernized research and development center.
