Hearthside Food Solutions, the US contract manufacturer, has started production at an idle PowerBar plant it acquired from Post Holdings last year.
The site is in Boise, the capital of the US state of Idaho. Hearthside acquired the factory around the time it snapped up Netherlands-based nutrition bar maker VSI in a separate deal.
