On Thursday, the East Coast Olive Oil Corporation celebrated its grand opening at Rome’s Griffiss Park. The company, originally based in Utica, is part of the number one private label olive oil supplier in the world.

A new 185-square foot facility is home to more than 150 employees and that number is expected to increase.

Officials said the move was necessary as the company continues grow.

“We really needed the room to expand our business and this project will allow us to grow our business by fifty percent in the coming years. So, it’s really about an expansion opportunity for us. We really needed the facility to handle our current business and really to grow our business,” said East Coast Olive Oil CEO Steve Mandia.

Company officials said the move to Rome was helped made possible by several local agencies and officials.
