Grillo Pickles Plans Columbus, Indiana, Manufacturing Operations
06/08/2025
The investment will include the construction of a 155,000-square-foot production facility along I-65.
"Our pickles use a century-old family recipe and contain no artificial preservatives, Grillo's Pickles are packed, shipped, and sold refrigerated," said Adam Kaufman, President & CEO of Boston-based Grillo's Pickles. "For our new production site, it was important to us to find a central U.S. location with a skilled workforce and supportive business environment, and we are very excited to be in Bartholomew County, Indiana."
To support the project the Indiana Economic Development Corporation committed up to $1.4 million in the form of incentive-based tax credits. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim incentives once Hoosiers are hired.
"As a company, Grillo's Pickles is known for their refreshingly unique pickle products, along with their fun and very distinctive marketing efforts," noted Kristen Goecker, Interim President of Greater Columbus Economic Development Corporation. "As such, Grillo's is going to fit in perfectly well in a community that is known for being different by design with a manufacturing workforce that is second to none."
Irresistible Foods Group (IFG) is the parent company to King's Hawaiian, Grillo's Pickles, Killer Brownie Company and other brands.
