The Missouri-based poultry specialist is to invest some US$70m in the new facilities which will comprise a state-of-the-art poultry complex with the capacity to process 1.2m birds per week for the big bird deboning market. When at full capacity, the new facility will employ around 1,300 people, processing some 8.4m pounds of dressed poultry meat per week.
Construction is expected to begin in the spring with initial operation of the new complex scheduled to begin in May of 2007.
