Cargill converts cooked meats facility; relocates ground beef production
Cargill is investing $111 million to convert its Columbus, Neb., ground beef plant to a cooked meats facility and relocate current ground beef production to existing processing facilities at Butler, Wis., and Forth Worth, Texas.
The converted plant will give the company capabilities it currently does not possess to produce specific types of cooked meat products. The conversion will begin early December 2015, with cooked meat production scheduled to start in mid-2016.
