Gathered Foods, the owner of Good Catch plant-based seafood products, has officially inaugurated a new, dedicated production facility in Heath, Ohio.

The facility, which is spread over 42,500 sq ft., was built specifically for high-tech production of Good Catch’s plant-based product offerings.

According to Gathered Foods, the new manufacturing plant is said to feature state-of-the-art processing equipment for producing best-in-industry plant-based food products.

Gathered Foods, which began construction the site in 2018, currently has employed 52 people and is expected to increase it to 80 by the end of this year after completing the expansion of the plant to full capacity.

Christine Mei – CEO of Gathered Foods said: “We are incredibly proud to establish a strong manufacturing footprint in the U.S. as we grow our product portfolio.

“With Good Catch’s rapid expansion and the launch of our new line of frozen plant-based entrees and appetizers, having our own production facility enables us to optimize productivity and efficiency. We are fully committed to delivering high quality plant-based seafood products which delight and satisfy our consumers each and every time.”

Earlier this year, Gathered Foods raised $36.8 million in a Series B Financing Round and used the proceedings for growing its distribution presence on a global scale by launching the Good Catch’s plant-based seafood products across Tesco supermarkets in the UK. This was followed by the summer launch of Good Catch’s second product line of frozen entrees and appetizers.
