Hostess Brands, LLC, a new company and employer under new ownership, Tuesday announced plans to re-launch its state-of-the-art bakery in Columbus, Georgia.
The company will initially add 200 jobs to the local economy and plans to create a total of over 300 jobs in the community within the next several years.
The baking facility will resume operations this summer and will produce a full assortment of Hostess' snack products, including Twinkies, Cup Cakes, HoHos and Ding Dongs.
The investment in the Columbus baking facility is being funded by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (APO) and Metropoulos & Co., which purchased selected Hostess assets out of bankruptcy in April.
