JBS announces $95 million expansion
JBS USA plans an expansion of $95 million for its beef production plant in Grand Island, Nebraska. According to a company statement, the money will be used to increase the production site but also to modernize some of the existing facilities.
The project includes new, improved animal handling facilities, a state-of-the-art, temperature-controlled harvest floor and facility reconfiguration designed to improve team member experience, food safety and product quality. The surface will be expanded with 107,000 sq ft to cover all the new parts included in the blueprint. By this, JBS hopes to "better position the company to sustainably meet evolving customer and consumer expectations for high-quality, great-tasting US beef products.".
The expansion is to be complete in two years but operations will continue in the plant. "Today’s announced expansion is an important strategic investment to secure Grand Island as an unquestioned leader in food quality, animal care and beef innovation for years to come. Around the world, from North and South America to Asia and Africa, consumers crave the superior taste and quality of American beef. Partnering with leading Nebraska and other area beef producers, we are proud to invest in a vibrant future for US beef," said Tim Schellpeper, JBS USA Fed Beef President.
