BCFoods is excited to announce the completion of a new 160,000 square foot dehydration facility located in Hebei, China. This greenfield project is the culmination of three years of planning and construction that significantly adds to BCFoods’ manufacturing capability and complements BCFoods’ other China-based production facilities in both Shandong and Gansu, China.

“Currently, BCFoods supplies over 25,000 MT of dehydrated vegetable products to the world market annually,” said Adam Lee, President and COO of BCFoods. “This expansion within China will help build a more sustainable supply chain of key ingredients while maintaining high quality standards for the products supplied by BCFoods to our customers worldwide.”

The new facility is wholly owned by BCFoods. It includes production workshops, cold storage, office buildings, and other supporting infrastructure. Production activities will include raw material processing for onion, garlic, carrot, green and red bell peppers, tomatoes, and more. The annual production capacity will reach 15,000 MTs within 5 years with expected annual sales revenue to be RMB 200 million.

BCFoods Hebei will immediately begin processing vegetables as they continue providing the highest quality of dehydrated ingredients to their customers worldwide.
