A top Northwest fresh sausage producer, Isernio’s Sausage Company, has announced its expansion into a new state-of-the art, 27,750-square-foot production and office facility in Kent.

The move is part of the company’s overall expansion over the past several years, which includes nationwide distribution of its premium sausage products.

Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke will lead an Oct. 5 ribbon-cutting opening ceremony for the new facility, 8222 South 228th St.

The facility’s new construction includes a 6,200-square-foot temperature-controlled production area, a 4,420-square-foot refrigerated/frozen storage area, and more thab 5,000 square feet of office and test kitchen space.

“This new facility originated from the need for expanded production and storage space as our company has grown,” said Isernio’s Sausage president Frank Isernio. “As more and more consumers have discovered our premium sausage, especially the health benefits of our lean chicken sausage, we needed the space to produce our fresh products daily and meet that demand. It’s a very exciting time for our company.”

Frank Isernio founded the company in 1980 in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle. Today, Isernio’s all-natural products are available throughout the United States, including its fresh chicken sausage rolls.
