Michael Foods, Inc. is a multi-billion-dollar company with 17 plants across the United States. They produce value-added egg and refrigerated potato products for foodservice and food ingredient customers. It is very likely you consumed one of their products the last time you ate at a restaurant, hotel, or cafeteria and didn’t even know it.  Post Holdings, Inc., Michael Foods’ parent company, is investing $146 million to support the growing demands for value-added eggs. 

The Norwalk facility, originally commissioned in 2019, is already expanding the plant by 132,000 sq feet and adding over 100 new jobs.  The expansion includes state-of-the-art production lines, increased storage capacity, and advanced automation equipment. Additionally, its design incorporates eco-friendly practices and technologies to minimize its environmental footprint. By investing in sustainable solutions, it aims to contribute to a healthier planet while maintaining our high standards of production. The project is expected to be completed in May 2025.

Beyond job creation, the expansion of the Michael Foods’ plant will bring several other benefits to the community, including increased production capacity which expands the opportunity to partner with other local suppliers and vendors.

While it may be the end of the construction journey for this new facility, the future certainly seems bright for both Michael Foods and the Norwalk community as egg production ramps up.
