RW Garcia, a family-owned corn-based chip and snack maker from San Jose, Calif., has opened a 63,000-squre-foot manufacturing plant in unincorporated Clark County near North Las Vegas.
The new facility brings 80 jobs, and the first chips have already been produced and shipped to distributors and retailers.
RW Garcia said it opened the chip facility in the Las Vegas valley because sales of company-branded products outpaced production at plants in San Jose and Lincolntown, NC. The new facility at 4780 North Lamb Blvd allows RW Garcia to accommodate increased manufacturing capacity.
