Mondelēz International Inc. will invest $122.5 million in its Henrico County supply chain operations over three years, creating 80 jobs, according to a press release from Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam.

The company's investment includes a 68,000-square-foot expansion of the company's Richmond Biscuit Bakery, which will support its Richmond manufacturing operations and enable the site to house a high-speed, Oreo production line. The bakery is the company's East Coast manufacturing hub for its U.S. operations and employs more than 500 people.

The company will also be opening a new sales fulfillment center close to its Richmond Biscuit Bakery. The fulfillment center, which will support Mondelēz sales and distribution in the U.S., is scheduled to open in 2022 and will create approximately 80 new jobs in Henrico County.
