Kraft Heinz to Bring 200 New Jobs to Garland, Texas, in $70M Expansion
Kraft Heinz has announced plans to invest $70 million to expand its presence in Garland, Texas, bringing 200 new jobs to the city as part of a broader revitalization initiative. The investment is tied to the company’s ongoing operational growth and partnership with the City of Garland, which has prioritized economic development as a key strategy for post-pandemic recovery.
The expansion is expected to significantly increase Kraft Heinz’s production capacity at its Garland facility, bolstering the company’s manufacturing network as it responds to heightened demand across several product lines. The investment also aligns with consumer trends favoring packaged and convenient meal options, a key growth area for the company in recent quarters.
City officials have welcomed the news, highlighting the strategic value of the partnership in reinforcing Garland’s position as a manufacturing and distribution hub within the Dallas-Fort Worth region. The 200 new jobs will span production, maintenance, and managerial roles, offering opportunities for both skilled and entry-level workers within the local labor market.
“This collaboration with Kraft Heinz not only strengthens our local economy but also reflects our city’s commitment to supporting major employers and attracting sustainable job growth,” said Garland Mayor Scott LeMay.
The expansion comes amid a larger economic revitalization effort by Garland city leaders, which includes targeted investments in infrastructure, workforce development, and industrial partnerships aimed at reversing economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Kraft Heinz’s entry further solidifies the city’s strategy to attract high-impact corporate investment in the FMCG and food manufacturing sectors.
Kraft Heinz continues to optimize its supply chain as part of its long-term growth strategy, with recent U.S. investments focused on modernizing facilities and building resilience into core operations. The Garland expansion reflects the company’s confidence in domestic manufacturing as a cornerstone of its future trajectory.
With this new development, Garland is positioning itself as a significant FMCG manufacturing and employment center—an encouraging sign for industry stakeholders closely watching regional trends in production and workforce growth.
