PIM Brands, formerly Promotion In Motion Inc. and the maker of snack foods including Welch’s® Fruit Snacks, Original Gummi FunMix®, Sour Jacks®, and Sun-Maid® Chocolate Raisins is moving into the former headquarters of the Hertz Corp. in Park Ridge, NJ, according to New Jersey Business
“PIM Brands’ new global headquarters, the former home of the Hertz Corporation, recently underwent a nearly $25 million renovation and expansion this past year. The impressive and sprawling state-of-the-art complex includes extensive R&D, tasting and sensory labs, a pilot manufacturing lab, graphics studios, retail plan-o-gram layout rooms, ample work areas for remote-based associates when visiting, along with expansive office and conferencing spaces for PIM’s 150 and constantly growing corporate headquarter-based Associates,” according to the magazine.
The report also said that “on the heels of the new global headquarters and a recent Somerset, NJ factory expansion in 2019 to accommodate new production and robotic packaging lines, PIM Brands has also added a new 309,000 square foot distribution center on Randolph Road in Somerset, New Jersey. With demand for its products continuing to grow at double-digits annually, the distribution center will enable supply and logistics to provide world-class customer service, housing nearly 46,000 pallets in the new facility, which equates to almost 2,000 full truckloads of finished goods. These significant corporate expansions have created new job opportunities and have increased PIM’s Somerset, NJ footprint to nearly one-million square feet.”
