Hundreds Of Jobs Coming To Concord With New Manufacturing Plant

CONCORD, NH — Pitco Frialator is coming to Concord and bringing with it hundreds of new jobs while consolidating locations and keeping current employees.

The Concord Planning Board is moving forward with plans to construct a 356,000 square foot manufacturing facility on Integra Drive.

The commercial fryer-making company moved to Bow in 1950 and currently has additional facilities in Concord and Pembroke. The new Concord plant will consolidate all three locations into a single, efficient layout incorporating office, manufacturing, and warehouse space and supporting 400 jobs.

"The City has worked closely with the company to make this development a reality," Concord Mayor Jim Bouley said in a statement, noting that he was excited. "This project is a win not only for Concord but also keeps a growing manufacturing business in New Hampshire safeguarding hundreds of local jobs."

Pitco Vice President & General Manager Karl Searl added that "this new, world-class manufacturing facility will be instrumental in preparing Pitco for its next level of growth and will allow us to increase production capacity to support our global foodservice customers. It will also play a critical role in bolstering our highly skilled and robust workforce."

"Keeping our business based in the state, specifically, Concord, is important to us to maintain our culture of quality workmanship and customer-centric values. We are appreciative for the support
from the City of Concord and we look forward to continuing our strong relationship
as partners in the upcoming years," Searl added.

Construction on the new facility is planned to start in 2022.
