Frito-Lay, a division of PepsiCo Inc., along with Fort Bend County, has announced a $200 million investment at its Rosenberg, Texas site, adding two manufacturing lines for Funyuns and tortilla chips, as well as increased capacity in its warehouse, according to a press release. Anticipated to be complete by 2023, the project will provide 160 new, full-time jobs.

The facility today employs more than 750 full-time plant and fleet associates and produces more than 117 million pounds of snacks annually.

This is the second investment Frito-Lay has made since 2019 to the Rosenberg site when the company announced a $138 million investment that added a Cheetos line, new seasoning and packaging equipment and a warehouse expansion, set to be complete late 2021.
