(Aurora, Ind.) – An Ohio-based pickle and pepper processing company has announced its plans for Dearborn County expansion.

Kaiser Pickles, a fourth-generation, family-owned operation, says it will create up to 20 new jobs at its Aurora location by the end of 2022.

The Cincinnati-based company will invest nearly $2.2 million to construct a 17,000-square-foot refrigerated warehouse to accommodate increased production of its pickle and pepper products.

Kaiser Pickles established its Aurora operations in 2017 with one production line at the company’s existing 46,000-square-foot facility on U.S. 50. The operation has since expanded to four production lines and a second shift to meet increased demand.

The news to expand the Aurora operation comes as Kaiser Pickles is celebrating its 100-year anniversary.

"It's an exciting time for Kaiser Pickles as we celebrate 100 years of our company and expand our footprint in Aurora," said Kim Speed, president and COO of Kaiser Pickles. "The company keeps growing generation after generation, and our Aurora operations will support this success and demand of our products. We appreciate the continued support from the Aurora community, Dearborn County and the state of Indiana."

Construction on the new warehouse is underway and is expected to be completed by June 2020.
