Kraft Heinz
Award-Winning Opportunity.
Kraft Heinz was in the market for a new factory for the first time since the merger of Kraft Foods Group and H.J. Heinz Corporation in 2015. The organization knew it needed the perfect partner to meet its specific food needs and selected Gray to design and build the greenfield facility.

“The ongoing demand from consumers for our brands made the new factory a priority,” said Michael Mullen, senior vice president of Corporate & Government Affairs for The Kraft Heinz Company.”
State-of-the-Art, Technology-Driven Meat Processing and Packaging
The highly automated meat processing and packaging plant produces hundreds of millions of pounds of deli meats per year, including meats for Oscar Mayer’s Deli Fresh and Lunchables product lines.
The Iowa facility and its new technology help the company deliver the top quality for which Kraft Heinz is known. The plant’s design, layout, and advanced technology allow for improved ingredient introduction and optimum conditions for processing food products end-to-end.
