McDONOUGH — Dole Packaged Foods will open a new state-of-art frozen fruit facility in McDonough late this month. This will be Dole’s third frozen fruit facility, complementing the existing operations in Atwater, Calif., and Decatur, Mich.
The new Dole facility is approximately 63,000 square feet, fully automated and will have four manufacturing lines which, when at capacity, can produce 60 million pounds of fruit annually. The operations will package frozen fruit for Dole’s retail, food service and private label customers on the east coast. Production will begin later this month in a phased approach and should be fully operational by September. When at full speed the facility will employee more than 100 and will run three shifts.
