Food company Nissin Foods USA has announced plans to build its third US manufacturing facility in Greenville County, South Carolina, US.

For this project, the company made an investment of approximately $228m.

The investment is expected to enhance the company’s production capabilities and expand its innovation pipeline, thereby allowing it to meet the demands of its customers more effectively.

The new factory will produce various Nissin-branded products such as its Top Ramen, Cup Noodles, and Hot & Spicy FIRE WOK products, among others. The site is also said to have room for future expansion.

The 640,640ft² factory will include solar panels, EV charging stations, and electric forklifts as part of Nissin’s long-term environmental aim to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 30% by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Nissin Foods USA CEO and president Michael Price said: “For more than 65 years, our instant ramen products and brands have cultivated a loyal consumer base, which has fuelled our relentless growth in the market.
