The Right Place assists Schreiber Foods with Wyoming expansion

Today, The Right Place, Inc., in collaboration with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), announced that dairy processor Schreiber Foods will be expanding its operations in Wyoming, Michigan. The investment is anticipated to generate $59 million in capital investment and 32 new jobs.

This investment sets us up to continue being an essential ingredient in our customers’ success,” said Jim Mackey, Global Tax Manager of Schreiber Foods. “We look forward to continuing to build on our strong relationship with the city of Wyoming and the state of Michigan. We’re extremely proud to be part of the Grand Rapids community with all that it has to offer our employees and our business. We want to give back to that community as we look to do good through food and make a difference.”

The Right Place worked closely with the MEDC to ensure the company continued its growth in the region. They offered support by effectively organizing state and local resources.

“Schreiber Foods’ decision to expand their Wyoming operations underscores our region’s business-friendly climate, especially in the food processing and manufacturing space,” said Brent Case, Vice President of Business Attraction at The Right Place and project lead. “The Right Place is excited to see their continued success in our region.”
