TNT Crust acquires production facility in St. Charles, Missouri

Pizza crust manufacturer TNT Crust has acquired a new production site in St. Charles, Missouri, to support continued growth across its product lines.

According to TNT, the new facility will complement the company’s current operations in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and will provide a strategic distribution location to serve new and existing customers from both facilities.

The 100,000 square-foot St. Charles site has additional room to support future growth, and the new operations are expected to create more than 100 jobs in the greater St. Louis community. In addition, the company stated that it intends to expand its existing operations in Green Bay.

TNT Crust was acquired by private equity firm Peak Rock Capital in 2018 from US meat company Tyson Foods. Since this acquisition, TNT claims that it has made several ‘substantial’ investments to grow the business.

This included the installation of additional production capacity in early 2019, and an expansion into the ‘better-for-you’ pizza crusts category through a dedicated USDA-certified organic and certified gluten-free facility.

Scott McNair, CEO of TNT Crust said: “This expansion represents a transformative milestone for TNT and one that we have been working towards since our acquisition by Peak Rock in 2018.

“We are very excited to have the opportunity to meaningfully grow with our valued customers and continue to support their commercial success for years to come.

“The new facility will be outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment and exemplifies TNT’s commitment to enhancing our production capabilities and leading the industry in quality, service, and innovation.”
