I saw that. They put up that plant in record speed. They've hired like 400 already and looking for around 200 more by year end I believe.
I've been involved in the construction... they haven't *quite* finished with the new plant expansion yet, but they are scheduled to be done by 10/15. I don't know if they've done their hiring yet, but they added almost 10 acres of indoor production. That place is an engineering marvel. The construction of that plant was more organized than a military operation!
