NASHVILLE, TN — Royal Canin, part of Mars Petcare, is planning a $200 million expansion of its Lebanon, TN, facility.
The project will bring more than 90 jobs. The work is scheduled for completion in 2022.
Royal Canin’s investment will enable the facility to expand its capabilities to manufacture the Royal Canin and Eukanuba health and nutrition product lines. With the investment, Royal Canin will add more than 108,000 square feet of working space with five additional highly automated production lines, doubling the plant capacity.
“Our commitment at Royal Canin is to transform the health of cats and dogs through individualized nutrition, in partnership with pet professionals,” said Cecile Coutens, regional president, Royal Canin. “We have experienced tremendous growth, and the expansion at our Tennessee site confirms our commitment to meet the needs of the growing number of pets we serve. We are industry leaders in pet health and we have a responsibility to our pets, our pet owners, our associates and the pet professionals and communities we serve. We are beyond excited about our investment in our Lebanon site.”
Royal Canin was founded in 1968 and purchased by Mars Inc. in 2001.
