This project, codenamed “Green Acres,” since the facility was erected on existing soybean fields, represents a major investment by Nestlé Purina in Clermont County, Ohio, and is set to boost both the local economy and job market. The 1.2 million square-foot factory, which cost $550 million to build, will create 300 new jobs. Through a close collaboration with Jobs Ohio and local partners, Nestlé Purina has successfully chosen this site for its first new factory since 1975.

The facility will focus on producing popular dry dog and cat food brands like Purina Pro Plan, Purina ONE, and Dog Chow. It will be the most advanced pet food factory in Purina's portfolio, incorporating cutting-edge robotics and digital tools. In addition, the factory will include a dedicated training center to foster employee learning and development. On top of benefiting the local economy, the local school district will receive negotiated payments in lieu of taxes, adding a further community benefit.
