The Crump Group has unveiled plans to significantly expand its manufacturing facility in Nashville, North Carolina, U.S
Based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, the company, which makes naturally crafted, single- or limited-ingredient dog treats, said this expansion marks a pivotal moment in the company's commitment to growth, innovation and community impact.
Following the acquisition of the facility in 2021, which included an initial investment exceeding US $40 million to procure the property, manufacturing facility and equipment, The Crump Group will invest an additional US $85 million to expand its production capacity. The company, which offers premium dog treats under the brands Caledon Farms, Crumps’ Naturals and Dog Delights, partners with major retailers across North America, including Costco, PetSmart, Pet Valu, Walmart, Loblaws, Publix and Target.
The expansion project reflects The Crump Group's ongoing commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its customers while also driving sustainable growth. The added space will facilitate increased production capabilities, enabling the company to better serve its expanding customer base and maintain its position as a leader in the industry, said Margot Crump, cofounder and CEO.
“With heightened customer demand, we stand poised to aggressively expand our operations while maintaining unmatched value to our customers," said Crump. "Our ongoing investment across diverse capabilities enables us to deliver innovative solutions with the hallmark quality and adaptability to which our customers have become accustomed."
In addition to its economic significance, the expansion underscores The Crump Group's commitment to environmental sustainability, said Paul Sproule, president. The company will implement state-of-the-art technologies and processes that will minimize environmental impact and promote sustainable manufacturing practices.
"This investment and expansion underscores our unwavering dedication to both operational excellence and community prosperity," said Sproule. "By expanding our footprint and creating new employment opportunities, we will make a positive and lasting impact on the local economy."
