Kellogg Co. likes snacks. The company just acquired two manufacturing facilities that make cracker, cookie and frozen dough products, many of them for Kellogg: IndyBake Products LLC and Brownie Products Co.
IndyBake has been manufacturing
Kellogg's Town House and Club crackers through a partnership with the company for years.
Sales for IndyBake Products and Brownie Products are approximately $50 million, according to the
press release.
Kellogg plans to expand the Indiana-based facility and will bring on 300 new full-time and contract positions over the
next several years.
Kellogg, which also makes Pop-Tarts, Cheez-It and Famous Amos Cookies, likes the margins in the retail snacks business, which posted an
internal net sales growth of 6% in the second quarter. As part of its snacking strategy, the company also just brought back
Hydrox cookies, which were originated by Sunshine Biscuit Co.
