Smucker Co. announced a new expansion in Decatur, Tennessee, that will create at least 40 jobs and is supported by tax abatements approved by the Decatur Industrial Development Board. The company’s investment will increase manufacturing and distribution capacity in the region, strengthening its supply‑chain footprint for pet‑food and snacking products.
The expansion is part of Smucker’s broader strategy to grow core categories such as Uncrustables and other snack brands. By expanding its Tennessee facility, the company can better meet demand for its pet‑food lines and snack products, while also improving logistics and reducing transportation costs to key markets.
The $37.6 million figure cited in earlier reports is unverified; Smucker has not disclosed its specific investment amount. The expansion is expected to enhance production capacity, but the exact capital outlay remains undisclosed.
The expansion comes after Smucker reported a Q3 2025 earnings beat, with adjusted earnings per share exceeding expectations by $0.24 due to disciplined cost management. Revenue, however, fell 2% year‑over‑year, reflecting weakness in the sweet‑baked‑snacks segment. Management highlighted that the company’s focus on core growth areas and strategic investments will support future profitability.
Management emphasized that disciplined cost control and targeted capital investments are key to sustaining profitability while expanding capacity. The company’s confidence in maintaining margins, even amid revenue headwinds, signals a commitment to long‑term growth through operational efficiency and strategic expansion.
