In California, Beyond Meat more than tripled its manufacturing footprint from 30,000 to 100,000 sq. ft. as demand continues to skyrocket. This expansion will support Beyond Meat’s line of plant-based fresh meat products including The Beyond Burger and Beyond Sausage, as well as provide for increased growth across new product launches moving forward.
“We first came to Missouri in 2009 to access the outstanding research being conducted at the University of Missouri. We have been investing in, and growing together with, Columbia, MO ever since, and I’m pleased to announce this latest manufacturing investment, our largest to date. Our expansion not only brings more jobs and opportunity to this special community but also furthers Missouri’s position as a leader in the production of plant-based meat,” said Ethan Brown, CEO and Founder of Beyond Meat.
Located in Columbia, Missouri, the new facility will generate more than 250 new jobs in 2018.
