100 New Jobs Coming To Norcross When Food Plant Opens

NORCROSS, GA — A food processing company with operations in Norcross plans to hire up to 100 new employees before it opens a new plant in January, according to the city's economic development office.

Birchwood Foods has invested $33 million in an 80,000-square-foot facility on Goshen Springs Road in Norcross, and is looking to hire workers for a range of positions, from production worker to supervisor, the office said in a recent statement.

The company, based in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is a major supplier of fresh and frozen ground beef patties for national fast-food chains, including Wendy's and Burger King.

Recently, Birchwood won a contract with another major restaurant chain and is expected to produce 60 million pounds of meat per year, or 2.5 million pounds per week, the office said.
