A Growing Sioux City Award was presented to Seaboard Triumph Foods at its sprawling 942,000 square-foot facility in Bridgeport Industrial Park. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds provided remarks and Mayor Bob Scott presented the award that recognizes the company’s growth and investment in Sioux City. The Growing Sioux City Award was accepted by Seaboard Triumph Foods COO Mark Porter. Company officials received Sioux City wind breakers and a new tree was planted on the property signifying the company’s commitment to growing Sioux City.
The event also celebrated the one-year anniversary of the start of production at STF’s new Sioux City facility. The initial $260 million construction of the plant was completed in September 2017, with a second phase coming on line earlier this year bringing the total capital investment in the STF campus to over $330 million. The joint venture between Seaboard Foods and Triumph Foods created the most advanced and second largest pork facility in the world.
