Smithfield Foods Plans $12M Investment in Patrick Cudahy Facility
Smithfield Foods, Inc., Smithfield, Va., broke ground on a new $12 million bacon slicing plant at its Cudahy, Wis., facility. The plant is expected to be fully operational by December.
The new 17,000-square-foot plant will include four slicing lines that will increase Smithfield Foods' bacon capacity by approximately 10 million pounds. It will be built in the same area that was destroyed by a fire in July 2009.
