West Seneca, NY According to governor Kathy Hochul, Rosina Food Products, Inc. has completed a $73.2 million expansion, adding a facility in Erie County. The new multi-million-dollar plant will produce a variety of meat products for the food manufacturer and will create 40 new jobs and retain 500 jobs. This is the third public-private expansion project New York State has supported to encourage growth and job creation at Rosina. Since 2014, Rosina has invested $95 million into its facilities in New York State, creating 115 new jobs.

The 105,000 s/f plant at 3100 Clinton St. will bring the company to three production facilities in Western NY and over 600 employees. The new facility includes a high-speed production line for manufacturing frozen meatballs, sliced sausage, and toppings. At maximum capacity, the new production plant can produce over 50 million pounds annually and will be supplementing an older processing line at the 75 Industrial Pkwy. facility in Cheektowaga.

“Rosina Food Products started as a family-owned storefront operation in Buffalo, expanding into an internationally known business and one of the best-known food manufacturers in Western New York,” gov. Hochul said. “New York State is proud to have partnered with Rosina on several expansion projects, and this latest multi-million dollar expansion will continue to fuel Western New York’s growing economy. My administration is taking bold action to be the most business-friendly and worker-friendly state in the nation, and I congratulate the Corigliano family and Rosina employees for expanding production, creating new jobs, and excelling in the global economy.”

New York State supported the expansion project with a $1 million capital grant recommended by the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council (WNYREDC), to assist with construction costs and the purchase of new equipment. Empire State Development is also providing up to $1 million in performance-based Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits to encourage the creation of 40 new jobs at the site, and the retention of 590 jobs statewide.
