Haverhill, MA – Dacon Corporation has commenced construction on a 135,000sf facility for Monogram Food Solutions, a manufacturer of value-added food products, for its new location in Creek Brook Park, Haverhill.
Founded in 2004, the Memphis-based Monogram has experienced a 620% sales rate increase, creating over 3,000 jobs and consistently placed on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies each year. Monogram has plant and warehousing facilities in Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Virginia and Wisconsin. This is Monogram’s third Massachusetts location.
Paradigm Properties is the owner and developer of the new facility and this is Dacon’s second partnership with the company in Haverhill.
According to Kevin McCall, Paradigm’s chief executive officer, “We’re excited to get this project underway to support Monogram’s ambitious business plan growth for this region. The combination of Dacon, Monogram and Paradigm is a focused team that will deliver, in mid-2022, a state-of-the-art facility with 109,000sf of multi-temperature warehouse space coupled with a 26,000sf sandwich assembly area.”
At Monogram, food safety is paramount for employee and customer health. Despite its high growth, the firm has never experienced a product recall.
The facility is focused on optimizing production to meet consumer demand. Six areas – freezer, cold storage, cool dock, dry goods storage, production and offices – are configured to accommodate 300 employees. Process engineering, critical for operational efficiency, includes a state-of-the-art ammonia refrigeration system. Loading dock areas and parking have been configured to maximize a restricted site plan.
Says Kevin Quinn, Dacon’s CEO, “We are delighted to be partnering with Paradigm and Monogram to build a facility supporting their meteoric rise and vibrant culture.”
