Partnership RedefinedFood production biz set to hire 200-plus Richmond residents
February 21, 2018 Newspaper
• A food production company set to open in Richmond is not only investing $17 million in improvements in a 102,000 square foot industrial building on Cutting Boulevard, it is investing heavily in the city’s available workforce, having already hired full-time employees from Richmond, according to City Manager Bill Lindsay.
• The company, FoodService Partners plans to create 225 new full-time union jobs for Richmond residents over the next five years
• The company is doing so in partnership with the city’s local employment development agencies, which helped FSP win $1.6 million in various state grants that incentivize hiring locally, developing the workforce and improving energy efficiency at facilities.
• . The company currently serves 33 hospitals and long-term care facilities in California and Virginia, another 15 in New York City. Its central production kitchen in South San Francisco produces and delivers all of the patient meals for 22 medical centers, nearly 8,000 meals a day.
• FSP leased the 102,000 square foot industrial building on Cutting Boulevard last year, and the company has been both invested in improving the facility as well as providing employment opportunities for local residents, Lindsay said.
• The Richmond residents currently employed by FSP are being trained in the company’s South San Francisco location. The company hired them through a partnership with RichmondWORKS, the city’s employment development agency.
• “They are right now working in South City until they are ready to transfer to the brand new state-of-the-art facility.

Critical workforce development needs for FSP
• Ready workers for FSP to hire and train
• Support for training of new and existing workers
• On-going support of residents and future hires
To achieve our Company commitment of Positive
Social, Economic and Environmental Impact, we
needed to build our business with and for employees
and our business plan must also include our residents,
community organizations and customers.
How would we get there? In late 2016, we met Sal
Vaca, Robert Meyer and Rob Sanger.
