Kosher and Vegetarian Food Maker Creating Jobs in Virginia
Sabra Dipping Company, a producer of authentic Mediterranean style refrigerated dips and spreads, has announced plans to open a Virginia manufacturing facility in 2010, bringing approximately 260 Virginia jobs to Chesterfield County.
Founded in 1986, the Queens, New York-based company manufactures kosher and vegetarian products such as hummus, babaganoush spreads, eggplant dips, and Mediterranean salsa. In 2005, international food company, Strauss-Elite purchased a majority share of the company. While in 2008, PepsiCo and Strauss-Elite formed a joint-venture partnership, operating under the name Sabra Dipping Company, LLC. Products can be found in leading supermarket chains and wholesale stores.
In a quote from Virginia Business News, Sabra CEO Ronen Zohar noted, “We are projecting growth and planning exciting innovation. We are very optimistic about our company’s plans for Chesterfield County and look forward to breaking ground and settling into the community.”
Gov. Tim Kaine said Virginia competed against two other states for the Sabra Dipping Company project. Kaine approved a $350,000 grant from the Governor's Opportunity Fund for the project.
Chesterfield is a growing community southwest of Richmond with a population hovering under 300,000.
