Dover Food Retail, a part of Dover Corporation and a manufacturer of commercial and industrial refrigeration systems and refrigerated display cases, says it will invest over $20 million to expand its Virginia operations.
The company says it plans to do this by relocating its Anthony brand manufacturing from Sylmar, California, to its Virginia campus, which is projected to create more than 300 new jobs over the next year.
The investment will expand on its current production with skilled workers manufacturing a wide range of commercial glass refrigerators and freezer doors and frames, utilizing cutting-edge technology to meet the demanding specifications of food retail customers across North America and worldwide.
Paul Sindoni, president of Dover Food Retail, says: “We are excited to be able to continue the growth journey in our Virginia campus.
“This latest round of investments will add all-new, state-of-the-art equipment to our factories, expand our research and development laboratories, create a Dover Food Retail parts hub, and establish our new distribution center of excellence.
“This investment will build upon our strong foundation of Dover Food Retail’s US-based manufacturing capabilities, building on our commitment to delivering exceptional products to our customers and maintaining our position as the innovation leaders in the industry.”
