The Meat Processing Expansion project involves constructing facilities to enable the doubling of the current production capacity from 550 to 1100 cattle per day; including the construction of carcass chillers to store an extra 550 carcasses, and integration into the existing site facilities. New technologies will be introduced to guarantee customer specifications are met, and to increase the percentage of saleable beef from the carcass. This project will allow the full utilisation of the recently completed Distribution Centre at the same premises. Once completed, this expansion will create 200 direct full time equivalent positions which will generate a $34 million yearly boost to the local economy.
