Dietz & Watson, a US-based food maker, is planning to establish a new $50m food campus in Tacony.
The comapny is constructing a 200,000ft² distribution center, enhancing its corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility as well as building a new fleet-maintenance facility as part of the plan.
It will feature a latest conveyer system that will efficiently transfer food from its kitchens directly to new storage facilities, eliminating more than 200 weekly truck trips over the Delaware River.
The new food campus will allow the comapny to prepare hundreds of products in Tacony and distribute the delicacies to customers across the country - all from the same location.
