With a Name Like Smucker's, It Has to Be Good®
The J.M. Smucker Co. recently celebrated the grand opening of its $1.1B Uncrustables facility, which is the largest single line bakery in North America, South America and Europe. Their investment in our region also represents the largest investment in Jefferson County’s history. The Birmingham Business Alliance was happy to aid in the recruitment of this development, which will be a leading employer offering competitive pay and benefits, encouraging work environment where every employee makes a difference, and a commitment to promoting continued employee growth and development.
“It is a strategic move for Smucker to leverage the Greater Birmingham Region’s strong distribution and logistics network, central location in the Southeast and a shovel-ready site to seize an opportunity for one of its fastest-growing brands,” Birmingham Business Alliance President & CEO Steve Ammons said. “We are very excited to welcome them to Birmingham and Jefferson County and thank them for bringing jobs to our community that will change lives for the better.”
Uncrustables has become one of J.M. Smucker Co.’s fastest growing brands and is on pace to deliver $1B in annual net sales by the end of its fiscal year in 2026. Hitting revenue goals is not the only importance of J.M. Smucker Co., making this addition to our region even more sweet. Community support and local love is of utmost importance. Their McCalla team has established relationships with several organizations that support our region’s families, friends and neighbors. A few of those organizations include - Best Buddies in Alabama, Community Food Bank of Central Alabama, Miracle League of Tuscaloosa, United Way of West Alabama and Lawson State Community College.
We are more than happy to welcome J.M. Smucker Co. to our region, and we can’t wait to see how they continue to impact our communities.
