Campbell Soup Co. will invest approximately $160 million in its Richmond, Utah, manufacturing facility to expand production of Goldfish crackers to help meet increased consumer demand, according to a press release.

The new line will produce over 5 million Goldfish per hour or 1,500 every second. The expansion also includes the construction of an onsite flour mill that will be separately owned and operated.

With a bakery in Richmond and operations in Logan, the company currently employs more than 400 people in the Cache Valley region and will add more than 80 jobs with this investment.

As part of the project, Utah Flour Milling LLC will build a flour mill adjacent and connected to the Campbell bakery. The onsite mill is a partnership between PHM Brands' Panhandle Milling and Nippn Corp.

The company expects the new Goldfish line to be operational by the end of 2024, the third Goldfish capacity expansion in the past two years, following bakery expansions in Lakeland, Florida and Willard, Ohio.
