Juanita’s Foods Acquires New Manufacturing Plant in Santa Fe Springs
Juanita's Foods has acquired a new manufacturing facility in Santa Fe Springs, California to serve as its primary production site. The company will consolidate operations from its current Wilmington plant into the newly purchased 120,000-square-foot location at Arctic Circle. While financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed, Juanita’s Foods emphasized that this move is part of a long-term strategy for growth and supply continuity. The transition to the new facility will be phased in order to maintain uninterrupted service to retail and foodservice customers. The company plans to relocate its entire workforce but has yet to finalize timelines or specific capacity figures due to ongoing planning efforts. CEO Robert Rosales highlighted that Santa Fe Springs offers the necessary scale for future growth, while Apex Capital’s Pedro Palma noted it as a strategic investment in the business's long-term stability. Founded by the De La Torre family and now partially owned by private equity firm Apex Capital following its majority stake acquisition last year, Juanita’s Foods continues to expand under new ownership with an eye toward increased production capabilities.
