Signature Foods USA Selects Anderson County, South Carolina, for First U.S. Plant

Signature Foods USA, a specialty food products manufacturer, announced on April 2 that it will establish its first South Carolina operation in Anderson County. The $11.5 million investment will create 202 new jobs.

First U.S. manufacturing operation

A division of the Netherlands-based Signature Foods, Signature Foods USA produces premium refrigerated prepared foods for the American market, including prepared meats and cheeses, dips, spreads, wraps and rolls. The company is headquartered in New York City, and the Anderson County plant is its first manufacturing operation in the U.S.

Dips and spreads for the deli section

The new facility, located at 211 Pine Road in Easley, will produce dips and spreads to be sold in the deli section of retail grocery stores. The South Carolina Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $400,000 Set-Aside grant to Anderson County to assist with building improvements and wastewater pre-system upgrades.

Peter Dornbos, CEO, Signature Foods USA said:

“After a long selection process, Anderson County in South Carolina was our number one choice for starting the first U.S. operation for our Dutch Group, Signature Foods NL. We believe that this location in Easley will be the foundation for the long-term growth of our business in the U.S.”
