Ferrero North America has inaugurated a $214 million chocolate plant in Bloomington, Illinois, dedicated to producing Kinder Bueno. This new facility spans 169,000 square feet and is an expansion of the existing campus, creating 200 new jobs.
Since its launch in late 2019, Kinder Bueno has become a hit in the U.S., ranking 17th among mainstream chocolate brands with over $214 million in retail sales last year. This plant is Ferrero's first chocolate factory outside of Europe, further bolstering the growth of the Kinder brand, which has reached half a billion dollars in the U.S. since its introduction in 2017. 🍬✨
