LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) – The Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce took its monthly Wake, Rattle and Roll breakfast out to the Allen County Fairgrounds Friday morning.
With growth has come a new name for a well-established Allen County industry. The CEO of Novus Foods, formerly Lakeview Farms based in Delphos, spoke to area business leaders about the company’s changes and the expansion being driven by U.S. consumer trends that favor fresher foods.
Novus Foods currently operates six manufacturing facilities across the country, employs roughly 1,200 people, and is seeing sales approach $1 billion, according to the company.
The CEO of Novus Foods, formerly Lakeview Farms based in Delphos, spoke to area business leaders about the company’s changes.
“We’re out of space in our Delphos facility, specifically from a warehouse perspective, and so we’ve been working with Allen County and economic development for a number of years now, and we’re getting really close to being able to kind of formally announce an expansion there,” said Tom Davis, CEO of Novus Foods.
Some of the company’s popular products include Noosa yogurt, Fresh Cravings salsa, Señor Rico rice pudding and a wide variety of refrigerated items.
