Grillo’s Pickles invests $54M to build food manufacturing facility in Indiana 

Grillo’s Pickles has announced plans to build a food manufacturing facility in Taylorsville, Indiana. The company, which produces refrigerated pickles, is investing $54 million in the project and will create up to 150 new jobs. 

The 155,000-square-foot facility will sit near I-65 in northern Bartholomew County, adjacent to a 300,000-square-foot bakery facility for King’s Hawaiian, another Irresistible Foods Group (IFG) brand. Local government support includes up to $3.7 million in infrastructure upgrades and a 10-year property tax phase-in valued at approximately $1.2 million. Additionally, the State of Indiana has committed up to $1.4 million in performance-based tax credits and regional leaders have approved up to $1 million from the READI 2.0 program to fund road improvements supporting the project site. 

What people are saying 

In a recent quote, Adam Kaufman, President & CEO, Grillo’s Pickles, said, “Our pickles use a century-old family recipe and contain no artificial preservatives, Grillo's Pickles are packed, shipped, and sold refrigerated. For our new production site, it was important to us to find a central U.S. location with a skilled workforce and supportive business environment, and we are very excited to be in Bartholomew County, Indiana.” 

Tony London, County Commissioner, added, “Bartholomew County, Indiana, is committed to growing and diversifying our local economy, and we are exceptionally pleased to support and welcome Grillo's to our community as an important part of our local strategy to attract Food Manufacturing.”
