Tortillas Santos plans to build a new factory next to its existing Laredo, Texas, plant, the Laredo Morning Times reported Nov. 10, citing a permit filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
The newspaper says the company already makes tortillas, tostadas and tortilla chips and runs a plant on each side of the border, in Laredo and Nuevo Laredo. Its current Laredo site is at 606 Amistad Drive. The new building would stand next door, at 603 Amistad Drive.
According to the permit as reported by the Morning Times, the project is a 21,600-square-foot structural metal building. Construction is scheduled to start Jan. 18, 2027, and finish by Dec. 27, 2027, at an estimated cost of $2,543,184.
The Morning Times account is based on the filed permit. The company is not quoted in the article, and the paper does not give capacity, headcount or which products would run in the new building.
