The equipment will add significant ground beef production capacity at the plant, while also increasing employment by 15-20 full time jobs.
Cargill’s investment of ground beef production equipment at the beef plant will provide northeast customers with additional packaged ground beef products to meet demand.
Andy Ripic, Cargill vice president and plant general manager at Wyalusing, said: “Cargill produces more ground beef than any other company in the world, and demand continues to be strong for this form of protein as an American staple food.
“Our customers have told us they would like us to produce more ground beef to meet demand. With the arrival of spring we will soon be getting into the grilling season, so installing equipment, adding jobs and filling the ground beef needs for retailers we serve in the northeast is a ‘win’ for everyone involved.”
