South Korean manufacturer to invest $100M into DFW expansion bringing 1,600 jobs

A South Korean manufacturer is expanding its U.S. operations in North Texas, with Garland-based Nutribiotech USA Inc. bankrolling $100 million into the former Raytheon campus. The facility is being converted into a new $50 million business park.

Over the next five years, Nutribiotech USA, a subsidiary of Nutribiotech Co. Ltd. (222040:KOSDAQ), will increase its footprint from an existing 60,000-square-foot facility to more than 685,000 square feet of space. The expansion includes the renovation of 375,000 square feet of former Raytheon facilities and the construction of a new 250,000-square-foot facility adjacent to Nutribiotech’s current site.

“We have been growing very rapidly and Garland has been a critical part of the success,” Nutribiotech USA President BJ Lee said in a prepared statement. “As we look to the future, we are excited to be a valued and dynamic part of this region’s economic engine.”
