Smithfield Foods is transfering production from its Charlotte, N.C., plant to its Tar Heel, N.C., facility to increase efficiency and better utilize existing capacity.
Like other food and beverage sectors where consumer safety is of foremost concern, being able to trace a single food item end-to-end throughout the supply chain is essential.
The facility will process over 10,000 metric tons of material each year and create 10 new full-time jobs in regional Tasmania, and up to 80 jobs during the construction phase.
