Ferrero Holds Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony to Celebrate Its First Chocolate Processing Facility in North America

Ferrero North America, a leading purveyor of chocolate and confections, held an official ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the grand opening of its first U.S.-based, 70,000 SF chocolate processing plant in Bloomington, Illinois. Ghafari provided architectural and engineering design services for the bid documents associated with the project and assisted with construction management.

As one of Ferrero’s first new construction programs in the U.S., the project required the Ghafari team to adapt their international building standards to adhere to the local market and codes. The new facility is an expansion of Ferrero’s existing Bloomington space and will produce chocolate for Kinder, Ferrero Rocher, CRUNCH, and other Ferrero products.
