Mondelēz International Celebrates Grand Opening of New Regional Supply Chain Distribution Center in Virginia - Seite 2

Among the many dignitaries and honored guests who celebrated this grand opening was Caren Merrick, Virginia Secretary of Commerce and Trade, who praised Mondelēz International for fostering a collaborative partnership with the community and supporting the Virginia economy with quality jobs.

“The investment Mondelēz International has made in Henrico County through this distribution center is a testament to what collaboration between the public and private sector can accomplish,” said Caren Merrick, Virginia Secretary of Commerce and Trade. “A strong Virginia economy relies on a vibrant business environment and a robust workforce, and we are excited about Mondelēz International continuing to be a significant partner in fostering both.”

Richmond and, more broadly, the Commonwealth of Virginia, have been home to meaningful Mondelēz International operations and employees for many years. The Richmond Biscuit Bakery first opened its doors almost five decades ago, in 1973. With the addition of this new distribution facility, the company has nearly 1,000 employees supporting its operations in Virginia, working across manufacturing, distribution, logistics and sales. The company also has a strong history as good corporate partner and employer in Richmond and Henrico County, and community leaders have acknowledged the Company’s long-standing commitment.

“Mondelēz International has been making quality products in Henrico for nearly 50 years, bringing quality jobs and economic development to our County,” said Henrico County Board of Supervisors Member Tyrone E. Nelson. “This new, additional facility enhances the company’s business operations in our county and represents another step forward in what we view as a long-term commitment both to Henrico and to Virginia.”
