Some £18 million will be invested, doubling the number of people on site and creating 30 jobs for Teessiders.
The new Warburtons plant should be up and running by spring 2022.
A spokesperson for the company said: "We have seen growth in consumer demand for our Thin Bagels – we have one plant in Bolton so are building another to ensure we can meet that demand.
"We are investing 18m in a new Thin Bagel plant at our Stockton bakery.
"It will eventually double the number of people on site, creating 30 new jobs. We expect the plant to be operational in spring next year."
