Shearer's Foods switches site of headquarters project

(Massillon, Ohio) - Shearer’s Foods will be moving forward on a new 200,000 square-foot headquarters and production facility here, just at a different industrial park than was first planned. The project, originally slated for the Nova Technology Park, will now be built at Northeast Ohio Commercial Park because it offered more room, according to Randy Whisler, project manager for Shearer’s Foods. Brewster, Ohio-based Shearer’s Foods makes potato chips, tortilla chips and cheese curls for retail sale in Ohio and surrounding states. The company – which claims to be the largest producer of kettle-cooked potato chips in the United States - also does private label contract manufacturer for clients that distribute products nationally.
