On Monday Kansas leaders including Gov. Laura Kelly, Sen. Jerry Moran, and Salina Mayor Mike Hoppock joined executives from Schwan's Company to announce a major expansion of their Tony's Pizza production plant in Salina. Schwan's announced plans for the 400,000 square foot expansion which will result in 225 new full-time jobs by 2023, alongside maintaining the existing jobs at the current facility.
The latest announcement of the project comes as the company celebrates its 50th year of operating a pizza production facility in Salina. The company already employs 1,125 people at its current 500,000-square-foot production facility and distribution center.
