Ajinomoto Windsor to build new plant in Missouri

Windsor, Ontario-based Ajinomoto Windsor, a manufacturer of private brand frozen food, said it is building a $39 million production facility in Joplin, Mo. The plant, slated to open in late 2017, is located near the company’s existing plant in Carthage, Mo.

Ajinomoto Windsor also said that it has entered into a sales agreement to transfer ownership of the company’s Piedmont, Mo., food manufacturing facility to Today’s Food LLC, an affiliate of Syosset N.Y.-based Tasty Brands, a manufacturer of frozen and refrigerated food.

“With the new facility in Joplin and our current Carthage plant, Ajinomoto Windsor will be centralizing our Missouri operations to create efficiency for suppliers, end users and management,” the company stated in a press release.
