Manna Expands US Operations with Tulsa Facility

Manna, a global provider of food and nutrition solutions, announced plans to establish a new U.S. operations and manufacturing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with the potential to create 1,000 jobs over the next decade. The project marks a significant expansion for the company in North America and underscores Oklahoma’s growing role in the food manufacturing sector. The facility will focus on producing a range of shelf-stable and perishable products, serving both domestic and international markets.

Construction is expected to begin in early 2024, with phased hiring and production ramping up by mid-2025. Local officials welcomed the investment, highlighting the state’s workforce development programs and infrastructure incentives designed to attract advanced manufacturing. The project aligns with Oklahoma’s broader economic strategy to diversify its industrial base and bolster regional supply chains. Manna emphasized that the site’s location offers logistical advantages, including access to rail, highway, and air networks, which will support efficient distribution across the U.S.

The announcement follows a year of strategic growth for Manna, which has expanded its global footprint through acquisitions and facility upgrades. State and local leaders praised the company’s commitment to workforce training and sustainability initiatives, which will be integrated into the new facility’s operations. The project is projected to generate over $200 million in capital investment, further solidifying Tulsa’s position as a hub for food manufacturing innovation.
