Nov. 19--A provider of prepackaged sushi products will open a manufacturing facility in South Elgin in December that will employ more than 100 people and make products for stores like Costco, Trader Joe's and Walgreens.
Fuji Food Products will expand its reach into the Midwest with the opening of the 40,000-square-foot plant in the suburb. It will be the company's third facility that handles the national distribution of organic single-serve and family-size prepared meals.
Fuji's customers also include SuperValu, Safeway, Meijer and 7-Eleven, according to a spokeswoman.
Fuji, based in Santa Fe Springs, Calif., is a division of Meruelo Group.
