Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc., the Lexington, Neb.-based beef and pork unit of Tyson Foods, Inc., Omaha, Neb., announced plans to invest $47 million on a new, expanded boxed beef warehouse.
The project, which will begin this spring, will involve construction of a 50,000-square-foot warehouse on the southeast corner of the existing beef complex. Currently expected to be completed in mid-2016, it will improve the flow, efficiency and capacity of the plant’s boxed beef storage and distribution systems. It is not expected to add jobs to the plant, which employs more than 2,700 people.
