2022 Gold & Silver Shovel Awards Project of the Year: The J.M. Smucker Company Investing in Alabama

Smucker’s investment in Jefferson County, Alabama, for a new frozen sandwich plant promises large-scale job creation.

Q2 2022
The combination of peanut butter and jelly is comfort food for many people, and frozen PB&J sandwiches will be comforting a lot of Alabama lives when a $1.1 billion Smucker’s plant opens in Jefferson County. The deal promises some 750 jobs that will pay an average of $25 an hour, making the company’s Uncrustables frozen sandwiches.

The plant on a 225-acre site is slated to open by 2025, and the investment is the biggest ever in this Alabama county. It rides a wave of Uncrustables popularity that drives half a billion dollars in annual revenue for the company. Two other plants — in Kentucky and Colorado — are also dedicated to making the frozen sandwiches that are circular and lacking a crust.
