Clemens Food Group, a food manufacturer, plans to enlarge its light industrial food production plant at 2700 Clemens Road in Hatfield Township. County records show a 37,587-square-foot building addition, roughly the size of a large warehouse bay. For comparison, a typical house is about 2,000 square feet.
The addition would go where a parking lot is now, so the lot would be demolished first. The property covers about 23.8 acres and already holds the company's existing plant.
No news coverage, township meeting record or developer page could be tied clearly to this specific filing. Clemens has announced other Hatfield-area expansions, but those could not be matched to this addition. The explanation here therefore relies on the county records.
What it could mean nearby
- The addition replaces a parking lot, so the plant's parking layout and truck or employee circulation on site may change. The records do not say how.
- The work is on land that already holds an industrial plant, so the plant's footprint grows but the site's use stays the same.
- The records give no job counts, traffic studies or utility details.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated January 2026, which indicates the plan is in township and county review. After review, land development plans usually go to the township planning commission and the supervisors for approval, and then to permits and construction.
