LEBANON, Ind. -- A Massachusetts-based food company will build a 320,000-square-foot facility in Lebanon – bringing 150 jobs to the area.

Lebanon Mayor Matthew Gentry said Monday that Ken's Foods Inc., which makes salad dressings, sauces and marinades, will invest $90 million in a new facility in the Lebanon Business Park. The news was first reported by the Indianapolis Business Journal.

Gentry described the facility to RTV6 as a "big win for Lebanon."

Ken's Foods is the third-largest salad dressings manufacturer in the U.S. behind Kraft Foods and Wish-Bone. It produces a number of sauces and dressings under its own label, and does contract manufacturing for companies like Newman's Own.

The facility is expected to begin operations in 2017.
