Tyson Foods has opened a new $300 million fully cooked food production facility in Danville, Va., accelerating the company’s long-term growth. The 325,000-sq-ft will produce approximately 4 million lb of fully cooked poultry products weekly to meet the increasing demand for Tyson brand products, in both the retail and foodservice sectors.
The Danville facility is one of Tyson’s most highly automated plants to date, featuring high-speed automated case packing lines and high-speed robotic case palletizing units that help maximize operational efficiency and increase overall team member safety. In addition, the site includes a product inspection process that incorporates metal detection, X-ray, and vision grading to ensure consumers receive high-quality products.
