COLUMBIA, S.C. — Haddon House Food Products, the largest privately-owned distributor, importer and exporter of specialty, natural, organic, ethnic and kosher foods, is expanding its Chester County operations. The company is investing $4.6 million to expand its operations in Richburg, S.C. The investment is expected to create 55 new jobs.
Founded in 1960 and headquartered in Medford, N.J., Haddon House offers and maintains an inventory of more than 20,000 food products. In addition to the company's existing Richburg, S.C. facility, Haddon House operates its other major distribution center in Howell, N.J. Collectively, the two facilities encompass more than 1,000,000-square-feet of warehouse space.
To expand its Chester County operations, Haddon House is constructing an addition to its existing facility. The addition will feature an expanded freezer distribution building. Located at 578B L and C Distribution Park in Richburg, the nearly 30,000-square-foot expansion will allow the company to continue to meet the needs of new and existing customers throughout the southeastern United States and Caribbean as the frozen foods sector continues to grow at an unprecedented rate.
Construction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2015. Hiring for the expanded freezer distribution building will be ongoing.
