National Beef Packing Co., LLC, Kansas City, Mo., announced plans to increase capacity at its Dodge City, Kan., facility to handle and ship boxed beef products.
“Our customers increasingly require smaller box sizes and weights. This expansion will allow us
to deliver on this expanding need, and to do so more efficiently,” says Kris Ragan, vice president
and general manager.
The $30-plus million dollar project includes the addition of new box carousels, palletizers and
cranes, and will increase material handling and box storage space.
