Cuisine Solutions Inc has purchased equipment and is completing work that will increase the capacity at its United States facility in Alexandria VA by 60%.
The equipment will be installed and operational in July 2007. The $1,718,000 cost of the new equipment, which is being financed through a five-year note with Branch Banking and Trust Co, is secured by a lien on the equipment. The company bought a new facility in France in 2006 that will eventually triple its capacity for sales in Europe.
Cuisine Solutions’ fully cooked, frozen entrees and sauces are sold in retail stores as well as to hotels, convention centers, sporting venues, airlines, trains, ships, restaurant chains, and the military.
