National Grid announced Monday it is providing a $750,000 economic development grant to support a major expansion at Wells Enterprises Inc.’s Dunkirk manufacturing facility.
Wells is the largest privately held, family-owned ice cream manufacturer in the U.S., and the country’s second-largest ice cream manufacturer. As part of its growth strategy, the company in 2019 acquired Dunkirk-based Fieldbrook Foods Corp., which dates to 1914 when it was known as Dunkirk Ice Cream.
“We’re excited to partner with National Grid as we work to expand our Dunkirk manufacturing facility. We know they understand the importance of investing in the local community by providing economic development grants,” said David Fiore, director of plant operations in Dunkirk. “We look forward to continue growing our manufacturing footprint and provide even more job opportunities in our local community.”
