Italian confectionery giant Ferrero is building another new US distribution centre, this one in Georgia. The company said the new 728,000 sq ft facility in McDonough - a suburb of Atlanta - will open in September. It will create 250 new jobs.

In recent months, Ferrero has expanded its North American headquarters in New Jersey and opened two new distribution centres in Pennsylvania and Arizona, as well as assuming management of two manufacturing plants in Bloomington and Franklin Park, Illinois.
