Global soy-sauce brand Kikkoman broke ground on a new brewing plant in Jefferson, Wis., that will be built on 100 acres, and encompass 240,000 sq ft when completed. The facility—which will manufacture soy sauce and sauce-related seasonings—is scheduled to open in late 2026, and will be planned and constructed by design-build firm CRB. 

The Jefferson plant will be Kikkoman's third North American site, and those at CRB say it will include advanced automation and control systems and sustainability features designed to reduce carbon emissions through energy-efficient equipment and design. Additionally, the facility was designed to accommodate significant expansion if Kikkoman decides to increase its manufacturing capacity in the future.
