The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission announced last week that it has approved a zoning certificate that will pave the way for dessert company Bindi USA to build a new headquarters facility in Kearny.
Bindi USA — the U.S. operations of the Italian dessert maker — plans to build a 64,000-square-foot facility on a vacant lot near the intersection of the Belleville Turnpike and Barsczewski Street.
The project’s first phase, which will be finished around May 2011, will consist of the construction of warehouse and office space and an interior loading dock. In the second phase of the project, slated for completion around May 2013, production and additional warehouse space will be built.
Bindi USA, whose current headquarters are at 405 Minnisink Road, in Totowa, is expected to relocate to the new building in May 2011. The new facility will employ about 50 workers; Bindi has 90 employees in New Jersey, including those at a production plant in Belleville.
