General Mills To Expand its Hannibal, Missouri, Plant
Nov. 21, 2024
General Mills will expand its manufacturing facility in Hannibal, Mo., to add an Old El Paso hard-shell taco production line. Cost was not disclosed, but it should create more than 35 new jobs, according to the Missouri Dept. of Economic Development.
General Mills’ facility in Hannibal produces food products across multiple categories and brands, including Nature Valley, Betty Crocker, Old El Paso, and Progresso. The company’s Hannibal location has been in operation since 1972 and has undergone multiple expansions to now employ more than 1,000 people.
For this expansion, General Mills is getting some state assistance through the Missouri Works program and Missouri One Start, which assists businesses with recruitment and training needs.
