BALTIMORE, March 20 — Pompeian, America’s #1 olive oil brand for nearly a decade, today marked the opening of a new high-speed production line at its headquarters, representing a nearly $10 million investment in the company’s operations and long-term growth in the U.S. market.
The expansion strengthens Pompeian’s supply chain – enhancing efficiency, flexibility, and resilience – while enabling the company to meet increasing demand from retailers and consumers nationwide. It reinforces Pompeian’s deep roots in Baltimore, where the company has proudly operated since 1906, and reflects continued investment in its people, operations, and community.
“For over a century, Baltimore has been home to Pompeian,” said Mouna Aissaoui, Chief Executive Officer of Pompeian. “This investment reaffirms our commitment to our city, our employees, and the consumers who trust Pompeian for high-quality olive oil at an exceptional value.”
The new production line supports continued operational expansion and job growth at Pompeian’s facility. Recognized as a USA Today Top Workplace, Pompeian continues to invest in employee well-being, professional development, and long-term opportunities for local talent.
“Pompeian is a stalwart of Baltimore’s business community, and has always been deeply connected to the city,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott. “From my time as a councilman to today, I’ve seen firsthand the meaningful investments they make, not just in their facilities, but in the people of Baltimore who they employ. Not to mention, they produce the best olive oil on the market – you won’t find any other brand in my household.”
As olive oil continues to gain momentum in American kitchens, Pompeian remains focused on helping consumers embrace its role in everyday cooking. From drizzling and sautéing to baking and finishing dishes, olive oil has become a versatile staple for families seeking flavorful, heart-healthy ingredients – a growing everyday habit Pompeian continues to support through education, quality, and consistency.
“We continue to invest because consumers trust our quality and the values we stand for,” said Aissaoui. “That confidence fuels us to keep improving. We take our #1 position seriously, through innovation and uncompromising quality, and this new line strengthens that leadership while enabling us to better serve our retail partners and consumers.”
That leadership is reflected in Pompeian’s continued innovation. The brand’s award-winning Squeeze bottle is designed for precise no-mess squeezing, convenience, and precision in the kitchen – meeting the evolving needs of today’s home cooks while driving growth across the category.
Pompeian continues to invest with confidence by strengthening its operations, supporting its community, and reinforcing its position as the leader in olive oil for American consumers.
