A kitchen manufacturer is to create 500 jobs in Barton-upon-Humber after taking over the former Kimberly-Clark nappies factory.
Wren Kitchens & Bedrooms expects to start recruiting staff in the new year.
The contract to take over the plant is understood to be worth a whopping £50 million.
Wren, which has invested £5m in its base at Scunthorpe, said it expected to create 500 "skilled jobs" over the next five year.
Operations director Armando Sanchez said: "Aside from manufacturing and distribution there will be opportunities in product design, information technology marketing and other central functions."
The company has expanded in the Humber region from a skeleton staff of 25 two years ago to 250 employees.
Finance director Mark Pullan said: "The number (of staff) will continue to grow with the new production lines and the increase in turn-over as the business continues to expand".
