The latest expansion expects to increase its distribution center built in 2006 by more than double.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2023 and end in early 2025.
When completed, Schwan's production and distribution components in Salina will total more than 1 million square feet.
The extra distribution center space will be utilized to expand storage for the pizzas made at the factory.
During the expansion, a new, cutting-edge 38,000 pallet-position racking system with three automated pallet cranes is set to be installed.
