Manufacturing Facilities
Maxwell House coffee is still produced at two U.S. locations: Jacksonville, Florida, and San Leandro, California. A third plant (the oldest of the group), located in Hoboken, New Jersey, was closed in the early 1990s. Its enormous rooftop sign, proclaiming the brand name and a dripping coffee cup, was a landmark visible in New York City across the Hudson River from Manhattan. The plant was later sold and demolished. The site is now occupied by a condominium. A fourth facility, located in Houston was divested by Kraft Foods to Maximus Coffee Group LP in late 2006. In March 2007, the neon coffee cup sign that glowed like a beacon over the city's East End was removed from the side of the sixteen-story coffee roaster building.
