The Pulaski Frito-Lay plant has announced the addition of a new line that produces the new TrueNorth™ nut snack products.
Frito-Lay representatives made a presentation of the new product to the Giles County Economic Development Commission last week.
According to Frito-Lay Pulaski Plant Manager Mike Miller, the new line cost approximately $20 million to install. Miller said the line is currently being operated by existing plant personnel, but he added that he hoped the demand for the product will necessitate the hiring of additional employees.
