Kerry Group is investing $125 million to expand a Rome, Ga., factory that will create 100 new jobs when completed early next year. Some 400 people will be employed during construction, which is set to begin immediately.

Kerry Group has more than 150 plants globally and 1,000-plus food scientists on staff.
