Sabra Dipping Has Opened Its Newly Expanded Hummus Production Facility in Virginia

Sabra Dipping Company, maker of best-selling hummus, has opened its newly expanded hummus production facility in Chesterfield County, Virginia.

The 118,000ft2 expansion is expected to double the production capacity of Sabra to meet increasing demand for the brand's portfolio of popular dips and spreads.

Sabra first announced plans for the expansion last spring, with the opening of its Center of Excellence research and development facility.

Sabra Dipping CEO Shali Shalit-Shoval said: "Sabra first opened its Virginia facility in 2010 and today marks our 3rd expansion since."

"The hummus category continues to grow at a double digit rate each year and we are proud to lead the category with more than 65% market share. This expansion now allows the Sabra facility to eventually produce 8,000 tons of quality, delicious, kitchen-fresh hummus each month."

The expanded facilities include additional office spaces and meeting rooms as well as employee-focused amenities including acafeteria, an outdoor patio with benches and picnic tables, a full company store, and a fresh coffee shop with dedicated on-site Barista.

The facility is expected to begin production immediately. New jobs will be added throughout 2015, with more expected in 2016.
