The newly launched facility is designed using advanced manufacturing technologies and global quality standards, with a strong focus on food safety, efficiency, and responsible resource use.

Strengthening India’s bakery ecosystem
This expansion is expected to play an important role in supporting India’s fast-growing bakery industry. By boosting local production, the company aims to serve consumers and bakery partners more effectively while maintaining consistent product quality at scale.
The Nashik unit is also projected to generate direct and indirect employment opportunities across manufacturing, logistics, and allied services. Industry reports highlight that the facility will contribute to local skill development and create new business opportunities for suppliers and ancillary industries in the region.
Leadership statement
Company leadership emphasized that the investment reflects confidence in India as a long-term growth market. The expansion builds on the strong presence of Pillsbury in India since 1999 and is aimed at serving rising consumer demand while empowering bakery partners across the country.
Economic and regional impact
Beyond manufacturing expansion, the plant is expected to contribute to regional economic development in Maharashtra through increased industrial activity, job creation, and local sourcing.
