Meat sticks maker Chomps opened a new manufacturing facility in Mexico, Mo., with long-standing strategic partner Western Smokehouse Partners. The 300,000 ft2 facility was sited in the Missouri town in part due to its proximity to other Western Smokehouse Partners’ facilities and major interstate highways as well as the area’s skilled labor force.
The new facility is expected to double Chomps annual production in 2026 from its current rate of 2 million individually wrapped sticks per day.
What they are saying
“We are incredibly proud to deepen our partnership with Chomps through the opening of this dedicated manufacturing facility,” said Matt Bormann, CEO of Western Smokehouse Partners. “This investment not only strengthens the production capabilities for a leading brand like Chomps but also brings significant economic opportunity and job creation to the Mexico, Missouri community. We look forward to the continued growth and success that will come from this collaboration.”
