Beshear breaks ground on $156M Owensboro project
OWENSBORO, Ky. (WEHT) – Governor Andy Beshear joined leaders of Mizkan America to break ground on the company's $156 million expansion project in Owensboro on Monday. The project is expected to create 44 new jobs.
'The tremendous growth we are seeing within Kentucky's manufacturing industry has been a crucial component of our surging economy,' said Beshear. 'Mizkan America's decision to reinvest in the commonwealth and our communities shows that our New Kentucky Home is the best place for business. I look forward to the company's continued success here in Kentucky.'
Officials say the project includes an expansion of Mizkan's Owensboro facilities by approximately 320,000 square feet, bringing the company's operational space to nearly 1 million square feet. The investment will be used to support building improvements, new machinery and equipment, IT upgrades, a new manufacturing line and warehousing space to allow the company to manufacture Holland House, cooking wine, Mizkan Asian sauces and vinegar and Nakano rice vinegar at the Owensboro plant for the first time.
