Monogram Food Solutions, which produces processed meats, plans to invest $4 million to expand its Henry County, Virginia operations, creating 150 jobs.

"This facility has a long history of success, starting with Knauss' relocation from Pennsylvania in 2002," said Governor Bob McDonnell. "Most recently, Monogram Food Solutions expanded in 2009 and created an additional 120 new jobs. The company is a strong corporate partner to Henry County, and I applaud this additional growth and investment less than one year later."

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership and Martinsville-Henry County Economic Development Corporation helped bring the project to Virginia. McDonnell has approved a $100,000 grant from the Governor's Opportunity Fund, and the Virginia Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission has approved $450,000 in Tobacco Region Opportunity Funds.

The company produces meat snacks, smoked meats, corn dogs, and fritters. It has headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee.
