Major plant expansion, including processing and production upgrades at Wayne Farms’ Enterprise processing facility, are complete, ushering in an economic upsurge with hundreds of new jobs and millions of dollars in regional economic impact.
The expansion has transformed the Enterprise facility into one of the most modern, advanced operations in the industry. Employee-centered features like modern, wi-fi equipped breakrooms, enhanced plant ergonomics and other safety and health upgrades have been added, along with new farm and processing equipment and practices relating to enhanced animal welfare of the flocks. Processing technology improvements include Controlled Atmosphere Stunning, which reduces stress on chickens by minimizing handling and rendering them unconscious before processing.
