  • May 01, 2017

Ajinomoto Windsor, Inc., announced it was expanding its frozen foods business with a new frozen appetizer production plant in Joplin, Missouri. The plant is expected to create more than 200 new jobs in the region.

“We are very excited to announce 220-240 new quality jobs for Joplin,” noted Governor Greitens. “That’s 220-240 families who will now have access to great work. We have been fighting for every single job and this investment in Joplin shows that the world is recognizing that Missouri is open for business.”

The Joplin plant represents more than $39 million in investment and is expected to open by the end of 2017.

“With the new facility in Joplin and our current Carthage plant, Ajinomoto Windsor will be centralizing our Missouri operations to create efficiency for suppliers, end users and management,” said the Ajinomoto Windsor Executive Team.
