Supplier Midnite Snax (asi/71685) has announced the opening of a new production facility.

The candy, snack and gourmet food supplier will be adding a 35,000 square foot manufacturing plant inside the same Bethpage, NY-based industrial complex that houses its current facility. With a combined 120,000 square feet of manufacturing, warehousing and office space, Midnite Snax says it will now have room to launch its new gourmet chocolate line, Casabella Chocolates.

“This is a very exciting time for us at Midnite Snax,” said David Katz, executive vice president and partner, in a press release. Just like the main plant, the new addition is an SQF (Safe Quality Food) facility that’s internationally recognized as exceeding global food and safety requirements. Katz went on to say that the new facility includes a “pharmaceutical clean room” which complies with the highest standards of food safety.

Family-owned and -operated for more than a quarter century, Midnite Snax currently employs more than 200 people.
