ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Yet another New Mexico food manufacturer is planning an expansion with the help of state funding.
The New Mexico Economic Development Department announced Wednesday that Saputo Dairy USA, a large-scale producer of cheese and other dairy products, is planning to invest up to $30 million in its existing facility at the Las Cruces Innovation and Industrial Park. The investment will help the company expand its capacity and add 150 new employees, according to a news release from EDD.
“Southern New Mexico is expanding its manufacturing footprint quickly,” said Cabinet Secretary Alicia Keyes. “The expansion of Saputo Dairy USA’s facility will create the jobs we need to diversify our economy and get people back to work as we recover from this pandemic.”
