The J.M. Smucker Co. announced the opening of its newest manufacturing facility in McCalla, Alabama, which will support production of the company’s Uncrustables brand.
The 900,000-square-foot manufacturing facility will increase the company’s current production capacity for its Uncrustables brand to help meet demand for the popular frozen sandwiches.
Over the years, the company has invested in increasing capacity to meet the demand for Uncrustables. These efforts have included expanding production from the original manufacturing facility in Scottsville, Kentucky, with the introduction of a second facility in Longmont, Colorado, and subsequent expansions of that facility. In addition, the company has consistently sought to maximize productivity through process innovation and technological advancements.
In addition to establishing itself as a leading area employer, the McCalla team has established relationships with several organizations supporting greater Birmingham residents, including Best Buddies in Alabama, Community Foodbank of Central Alabama, Miracle League of Tuscaloosa, United Way of West Alabama and Lawson State Community College, among others.
