I'm surprised you're being downvoted so heavily. I haven't done food manufacturing before but I've looked into it a few times (so I'm far from an expert but I at least know of a thing here and there). 2,000 seems pretty high to me.

I would love to see a breakdown for their employees and what their roles are spread throughout the company. Also how many manufacturing locations they have (I thought it was just one).

They apparently have two plants [1]. For each of those plants, you'll have management, production workers, loading dock people, QA, mechanics, facilities, etc. The company will have management at various levels, HR, marketing (advertising, promotion, branding, etc.), sales, purchasing, finance (AP, AR, tax, payroll, accounting, etc.), PR, customer support, etc. I don't know how this particular company breaks down but it's surprisingly easy to get to significant headcounts as companies scale.
