Georgia Governor Brian P. Kemp announced that Jack Link’s, a global leader in meat snacks, will create 800 jobs and invest $450 million as the company expands with a new manufacturing facility in Perry. The announcement was made with company, state and local officials at an event at the future home of Jack Link’s.
Jack Link’s has chosen a 120-acre site in the I-75 GRAD (Georgia Ready for Accelerated Development) Certified Site in Perry to build the production facility, slated to be operational at the end of 2023.
“We are excited to partner with the State of Georgia and Houston County on this state-of-the-art facility,” said Troy Link, CEO of Jack Link’s. “We are grateful for the opportunity to invest in Perry for the long term and are committed to becoming a strong community advocate.”
Jack Link’s expects career opportunities at the facility to include positions in management, production and production supervision, quality, maintenance, engineering and general office support.
The company operates multiple sites throughout the Midwest and has facilities in New Zealand, Brazil and Germany servicing their global business.
