Bob’s Red Mill Expands to New Facility;

Triples Manufacturing Capacity

The 320,000-square- foot-facility will also allow for four-times the gluten free manufacturing

Milwaukie , Ore. – Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods will soon be able to offer three times the whole grain goodness, thanks to a move of its manufacturing, warehouse and office space to a 320,000-square-foot building.

Located a half mile away from the existing facility, the new location effectively triples the current manufacturing capacity. “This should take care of our needs for the next 10-15 years,” said Bob Moore, founding partner of Bob’s Red Mill.

The new facility – which includes 17 acres of land, with 7 acres under roof – allows for expansion of the company’s manufacturing, packaging, and distribution capabilities for the more than 400 Bob’s Red Mill products. Not only can general product production triple, the miller can also create gluten free products at four times their current rate in a 23,000-square-foot dedicated gluten free manufacturing facility.

“Our goal is to continue to meet our customers’ increasing demand for more whole grain foods, and gluten free is a big part of that,” Moore said. “Our products are available in almost every grocery retailer in the U.S. , and throughout Canada, South America, and Asia; and with the added capacity in the new facility we can increase the number of products each store carries, thereby meeting our customers’ demands for more variety.”

Previously, the company’s manufacturing and distribution facilities were in separate buildings; the new facility allows all functions of the business to now operate under one roof.

The Whole Grain Store and Visitors Center will stay at its current location. The new headquarters address will be 13521 SE Pheasant Court , Milwaukie , Oregon .
