Krinos Foods Celebrates New $25 Million Facility with Private Grand Opening Celebration

Krinos Foods officially opens the doors to its new 100,000-square-foot facility located at  1750 Bathgate Ave. in Bronx, N.Y. on Wednesday, June 15. To assist with the private grand opening celebration, Krinos Foods Chairman Eric Moscahlaidis and New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) President Maria Torres-Springer will address guests and will perform a ceremonial ribbon cutting.

Attendees and media will be invited to tour the new facility, take part in the grand opening festivities and learn more about Krinos Foods, the company, its products and impact on the Bronx neighborhood.

The new location and $20 million facility is the result of Krinos Foods Chairman Eric Moscahlaidis’ loyalty to his New York City origins when the need for a more efficient state-of-the-art facility arose. In addition to the new facility offering operational, green, and production and distribution benefits, it fills what was a long-vacant lot within the Bronx after nearly three decades.

The exterior of the new facility also features three murals created by Kenny Scharf, Misha Most and Victor Matthews to provide additional beauty to the neighborhood.

The new facility sits at the site where six Bronx firefighters lost their lives to a factory fire in April 1956. A separate dedication ceremony took place in April 2016 in conjunction with the Bronx Fire Department to honor these men and their sacrifice on the 60^th anniversary of the tragedy. A permanent plaque dedicated during the ceremony honors the firefighters.
