TROY, Ala. (AP) — A food manufacturing company is set to expand its production of peanut butter products in southeast Alabama with a $13 million project. 

Gov. Kay Ivey on Thursday announced the plan by Golden Boy Foods in Troy. l The project is expected to create 67 full-time jobs at a 170,000-square-foot building being constructed with a $12.5 million investment from the city’s industrial development board.

Plant Manager Robert Jacobs said the 150% production expansion will help the site become one of the largest nut butter plants in the U.S. The Alabama Commerce Department said Golden Boy expects to start expanding by spring 2021.

The company manufactures nut butter, nuts, fruits and trail mixes.
