General Mills Wrapping Up Building Phase of $55 Million Expansion in Missouri

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--An expansion project at a General Mills Incorporated (NYSE:GIS) (Minneapolis, Minnesota) facility in Hannibal, Missouri, is on schedule after being delayed by wet weather earlier this year. The $55 million project entails the construction of a 55,000-square-foot building to accommodate new production lines and provide for future productions over a three-year period.

The company started construction last November and expects to complete the building phase this month. The process mechanical and electrical phase of the project is currently underway and the company expects to be making product this August.

Fru-Con Construction Corporation (Ballwin, Missouri) as the owner's representative, contracted Klinger & Associates (Quincy, Illinois) and Bleigh Construction Company (Hannibal, Missouri) to provide design and construction services for the new building. General Mills awarded several contracts for process equipment installation.

The Hannibal plant has been in operation since 1972 and employs more than 800 workers manufacturing over 120 products.
