Tyson Foods, Inc., Springdale, Ark., concluded a line expansion at its prepared foods plant in Emporia, Kan. The $3 million expansion will make a product for a national foodservice customer and create about 16 jobs.
The project consisted of building a new room to house the line, modifications to existing refrigeration and the installation of equipment. The Emporia plant is one of Tyson Foods’ specialty meat plants that produces value-added raw cuts of beef, pork and chicken for foodservice and retail, both branded and private label.
