B&M Meats, a Philly cheesesteak manufacturer located in Wilmington, Del., has announced an $18 million expansion to its operations in the city. According to Delaware Business Times, the company is looking to hire about 70 additional employees at the existing plant while also investing $18 million to acquire 9.86 acres of land and develop a new 80,000-square-foot manufacturing plant, which would employ 120 workers.
The company is a subsidiary of New Jersey-based Wonder Meats. Wonder Meats Chief Financial Officer Chris Linteris said of the expansion, “We’ve done four expansions [on the current building] and we are now capped out, bursting at the seams, at that site of about 45,000 square feet.”
