The addition of 200 new positions underscores and strengthens the presence of the Italian confectionery behemoth, Ferrero, in the U.S. ice cream segment, following its acquisition of Wells Enterprises at the close of 2022.

According to reports from FoodDive magazine, this expansion project at the Dunkerque facility in New York, which plays a pivotal role in producing renowned brands such as Blue Bunny, Halo Top, Bomb Pop, and Blue Ribbon Classics, will lead to a notable boost in employment.
