en.Wedoany.com Reported - Confectionery maker Ferrero has launched production of its Nutella brand in the United States for the first time. The company held a ribbon-cutting ceremony late last month at its plant in suburban Chicago for a new peanut butter production line, which will produce Nutella Peanut Butter, the first new flavor for the Italian chocolate hazelnut spread brand.

Ferrero stated that the $75 million expansion in Franklin Park, Illinois, will create 50 new jobs and further expand its operational footprint in the U.S. The commissioning of this peanut butter production line marks the first time Nutella products are manufactured locally in the United States, signifying a major production milestone for the brand in the North American market.

Michael Lindsey, President and Chief Business Officer of Ferrero North America, said in a statement: "Nutella Peanut Butter and this new facility showcase Ferrero's dedicated and talented team, its commitment to growth in North America, and the company's ability to thoughtfully and effectively develop brands beloved for generations."

Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Alba, Italy, with Giovanni Ferrero serving as Executive Chairman, Ferrero specializes in chocolate products, including Ferrero Rocher and Ferrero Collection assorted chocolate gift boxes.
