Ateeco Plans Major Remodeling of Pierogie Plant in Pennsylvania

---

Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated; Houston, Texas). Privately held, Atecco Incorporated (Shenandoah, Pennsylvania) famous for their Mrs. T's Pierogie's, is planning a major remodeling of their manufacturing plant in Shenandoah. (Plant 1010723)

After a successful launch of their pierogie's (pasta stuffed with meat and potatoes) nationwide in the early 1990's, the company built a new plant in 1996 in East Greenville, Pennsylvania to handle the additional capacity and currently cranks out over 8.5 million pierogie's per week between the two plants.

To keep up with continued demand and maximize the efficiency of the 50 plus year old plant, Atecco will invest over $10 million to remodel the plant. Plans call for internal demolition of the facility's infrastructure and the addition of more processing and packaging machinery.

The company has selected a local and global food related construction firm Webber Smith Associates Inc. (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) to design and implement a plan to upgrade and expand the facility.

Remodeling of the plant is to begin sometime in October of 2003 and be completed eleven to twelve months after initial construction begins.

Atecco has been producing Mrs. T's Pierogies in Shenandoah since 1952. These flavorful, potato-filled pasta pockets can be prepared as a vegetarian entree, appetizer, side dish or snack. You can boil, saute, deep fry, bake, steam, grill, or even microwave them. Mrs. T's Pierogies are low fat, certified Kosher and high in carbohydrates. So if you're on Atkins', forgetaboutit.
