ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico<\/span>, Aug. 15, 2017<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ — Yesterday, Flagship Food Group CEO, Rob Holland<\/span>, and New Mexico<\/span> Governor, Susana Martinez<\/span>, announced that Flagship will further expand its manufacturing and distribution facilities in the Albuquerque<\/span> area, creating a state-of-the-art, 76,000 square-foot frozen food distribution warehouse that will serve its customers from coast to coast from a single point of distribution.\u00a0 The new distribution facility will also feature a research and development center, offices, and a small interactive “museum” that pays tribute to New Mexico’s<\/span> rich food culture.<\/p>\n Flagship’s popular 505 Southwestern\u00ae brand (“505” signifies Albuquerque’s<\/span> area code) is produced in New Mexico<\/span> and certified as a “New Mexico True” product.\u00a0 Nearly $100 million<\/span> of 505 Southwestern\u00ae-branded products are sold from London<\/span> to Los Angeles<\/span>, spreading the awareness of New Mexico<\/span> flavors and cuisine in 125,000 points of distribution throughout the world. <\/p>\n The State of New Mexico<\/span> has continued to show support for Flagship and its investment in the State.\u00a0 <\/p>\n “Since day one, we’ve been fighting hard to make New Mexico<\/span> more competitive with surrounding states through reforms like cutting taxes and streamlining regulations,” Governor Martinez said. “Results like these mean more jobs for New Mexicans, and give us even more momentum to build on as we keep working to grow and diversify our economy.”<\/p>\n “We are grateful for the support and business-friendly environment that New Mexico<\/span> has given us,” said Holland.\u00a0 “Our new distribution facility in New Mexico<\/span> will help us better serve our customers and represents another important step in the growth and development of our company.”<\/p>\n The facility represents a collaboration between Flagship’s diverse leadership team.\u00a0 Carlos Angulo<\/span>, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, led the project with support from the president of the Flagship Logistics division, Pat O’Keefe<\/span>, and other company executives. \u00a0The warehouse will operate with a state-of-the-art inventory tracking system currently utilized in Flagship’s other warehouse facility.\u00a0 <\/p>\n “As our Southwestern food portfolio has doubled in size in only a few short years, we needed a facility that would warehouse our products and support our customers across the country with extreme efficiency and reliability.\u00a0 Working with our amazing team of operators and professionals, we’ve taken the project from concept to a fully-operational facility in less than one year,”
