Red Collar Pet Foods in Clinton has announced that it is embarking on a $5.7 million expansion at their manufacturing plant located one mile south of I-40 on US Highway 183.
The move could potentially add more jobs.
The new 85,000-square-foot warehouse will be built on the south side of the existing building to help meet the high demand for products, and is on the heels of the company’s expansion of its packaging capabilities.
Construction is set to begin at end of the year.
The current workforce at the Clinton facility is 111. A fourth shift added at the end of 2020 resulted in 20 new hires. Nationwide, Red Collar has almost 800 employees at its six manufacturing facilities across the United States and its corporate offices in Franklin, Tennessee.
