Wixon, a manufacturer of seasonings, flavors, and technologies for the food and beverage industry, announced that it has made a five-year commitment to donate $250,000 to the construction of the new University of Wisconsin-Madison Meat Science Laboratory.
Ground was recently broken on the 67,540-square-foot building, with occupancy expected in spring 2018. To be built at 1930 Linden Dr. in Madison, the current meat laboratory, built in 1931 with additions in the 1950s and 1970s, did not have the space or facilities to meet current industry and research demands.
