Misison Foods, a maker of tortillas, tortilla chips, flat breads and other products, will open a tortilla-making factory in Plainfield.
The company plans to create 544 jobs by 2026.
“Indiana is ranked the top state for manufacturing output because of companies like Mission Foods deciding to locate operations here and contribute to our thriving manufacturing sector,” said Governor Eric J. Holcomb. “I’m extremely grateful they’ve chosen our state to call home and will not only be able to grow their business here, but also provide career opportunities for Hoosiers for years to come.”
The facility on Allpoints Court will be able to produce more than 187 million pounds of food each year.
Mission plans to have the factory open in 2021 and fully operational by 2024.
The company plans to begin hiring in early 2021. Interested applicants may apply online at https://www.missionfoods.com/careers/.
Pending approval by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) board of directors, the IEDC will offer Gruma Corporation, dba Mission Foods, up to $4.75 million in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation and investment plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim incentives once Hoosiers are hired.
