The company requested a  $131,130 Performance Grant from the Delaware Strategic Fund, based on the creation of 28 jobs.

The food company also requested  a Capital Expenditures Grant from the Delaware Strategic Fund up to $1,050,000, or a 3% match of qualified capital expenditures up to $35,000,000 for the redevelopment of its current facility in Dover.

The Dover site has survived a series of mergers and restructurings as it turned out a variety of food products.

The company operated for many years under the General Foods name.
