California based company has recently purchased the 454,476 square foot former Keebler/Kellogg food manufacturing facility in the Allied Industrial Park area in Macon, Ga.
“Our orders exceeded our capacity in our California facility, and this building fits perfectly in our expansion plans,” Said Sterling Savely, chairman and CEO of California Cereal Products. “California Cereal Products, Inc. chose Macon as the site for their second plant after searching for other facilities on the East Coast. When fully operational the plant will employ up to 235.”
“The reception we have received from development officials in Macon, Georgia has far exceeded our expectations,” said Savely. “Everyone has been eager to help.”
Jeff Counsell, Trammel Crow in Chicago, Illinois represented California Cereal Products, Inc., and Art Barry of Coldwell Banker/Eberhardt and Barry Commercial in Macon, Georgia represented the owners in the $6.5 million transaction.
California Cereal Products, Inc., based in Oakland, Calif., is a supplier and contract manufacturer of batch cooked breakfast cereal, producing traditional oven-toasted crisp rice, whole grain brown crisp rice, corn flakes, wheat flakes, multi-grain flakes, and sugar coated variations.
