Mount Franklin Foods is opening a new 220,000-sq.-ft., state-of-the-art candy manufacturing facility in San Jeronimo — a port of entry in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, across the U.S. border from Santa Teresa, New Mexico and the company's headquarters in El Paso, Texas.
The facility will add 130 million pounds of capacity in soft non-chocolate candy for Mount Franklin and will bring more than 300 new jobs to the area.
