We chose Jonesboro, Arkansas, for its business-friendly climate, dependable supply-chain infrastructure, and skilled workforce, an ideal combination for fast-moving food manufacturing.”

SANY Nutrition Group is a protein snack manufacturer specializing in the development and production of customized food products.
