Nestle Purina says it will be expanding its plant in Hart County: the pet food maker is planning to pump more than $500 million into its facility in Hartwell, adding 130 jobs.
“Nestlé Purina has become an important corporate citizen in Hart County, providing significant job opportunities and investment in our community,” says Hart County Commission Chair Joey Dorsey. “The Hart County Board of Commissioners is pleased to see Nestlé Purina thriving and planning continued growth in Hart County.”
“The announcement by Nestlé Purina to expand operations in Hart County is exciting news for our community as well as the region,” says Hart County Industrial Building Authority Chairman Bill Leard. “The company not only provides excellent career opportunities, but also has significant involvement in the local community.”
“Purina is thrilled to be expanding our operations in Hartwell,” says Purina Factory Manager Winston Silva. “Through this investment, we will continue delivering the science-based nutrition pet lovers have come to trust for more than 90 years, with a continued commitment to safety and sustainability in our operations. We’re proud to be a part of the Hartwell community and look forward to expanding our Purina family while also continuing to make a positive impact for pets and people in Northeast Georgia.”
“It’s a pleasure to see a world-renowned company like Nestlé Purina expand their operations in the Peach State,” says Governor Kemp. “Our highly skilled workforce of hardworking Georgians has been critical to attracting new jobs and investment to every corner of the state. I’m excited for what this will mean for Hart County and the surrounding region, and I’m grateful for Nestlé Purina’s continued investment in Georgia.”
