Utz to Close Oldest Plant

Perhaps one of the brand names most associated with its home state of Pennsylvania, Utz potato chips are legendary, therefore the latest company news might make locals feel a little salty – Utz says it plans to close its oldest plant, the Carlisle Street factory in Hannover, PA.

In a bid to “support volume growth and reduce costs,” Utz has announced its lowest volume plant, which currently produces kettle chips for the company’s Utz, Grandma Utz, and Zapp’s brands will close in early 2024 after nearly 75 years.
