CLEBURNE, TEXAS — La Moderna, Mexico’s largest pasta manufacturer, has opened a $50 million production facility in Cleburne, roughly 30 miles south of Fort Worth. The 150,000-square-foot property, which took three years to build, is situated on 16.5 acres and will serve as the company’s U.S. headquarters. Specific features include office space with conference rooms and elevated workstations, as well as food safety and production analysis labs. The rail-served facility is capable of producing nearly 4,000 tons of pasta per month and will ultimately account for the creation of 400 direct and indirect new jobs in Cleburne.
