Sabra Dipping Company, a manufacturer of specialized food products,
will open a manufacturing facility in Chesterfield County, Virginia,
according to the Virginia governor's office. The project is expected to
create 260 new jobs at full operations in 2010. New York-headquartered
Sabra, a joint venture between the Strauss Group and PepsiCo's
Frito-Lay North America divisions, manufacturers and sells hummus and
vegetable dips. "We are projecting growth and planning exciting
innovation," says Ronen Zohar, Sabra's CEO. "We are very optimistic
about our company's plans for Chesterfield County and look forward to
breaking ground and setting into the community." Incentives offered to
the company include a $350,000 grant from the state, along with
training assistance and enterprise zone tax credits, as well as local
incentives that the governor's office did not quantify.
