ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston officially marked the completion of an 85,000-square-foot expansion of its potato processing plant in Pasco, Wash., with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by company officials as well as local and state dignitaries.
Lamb Weston, a leading global supplier of frozen potato products, began construction in May on the multi-million dollar expansion effort designed to meet ongoing customer demand while providing capabilities to manage long-term growth effectively. Two new production lines for making potato- and onion-based appetizers were added to the facility.
As part of the expansion, Lamb Weston anticipates adding approximately 100 jobs, bringing the total to 525 employees at the facility.
