Hill’s Pet Nutrition to build new manufacturing plant in Tonganoxie
The plant will be 300,000 square feet and bring 80 new jobs
Kanas Governor Laura Kelly today applauded Hill’s Pet Nutrition for their plans to build a new pet food manufacturing plant in Tonganoxie.
The organization will invest more than $250 million to construct its 300,000-square foot facility and bring 80 new jobs to the community by 2025.
According to Hill’s, factors that were contemplated before finalizing the decision were the location’s industrial park, strong community partnerships, workforce strengths, and proximity to distribution requirements for the facility.
The organization also cited the major advantage of being part of the KC Animal Health Corridor, which is home to more than 300 animal health companies; the Kc Animal Health Corridor now accounts for 56 percent of total worldwide animal health, diagnostics, and pet food sales.
