Daily’s Premium Meats, LLC will build a sizeable expansion onto its St. Joseph facility that will more than double its current production capacity.
The company will construct another production bay on the east side of its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Currently 2.5 percent of the nation’s bacon is manufactured in St. Joseph, Missouri. With this expansion, 5 percent of the nation’s bacon will be manufactured in St. Joseph.
The total project includes an estimated $95 million capital investment of building construction ($40 million) and new equipment ($55 million). The company projects the expansion to create between 90 and 115 new production jobs with a starting wage of between $47,000 and $53,000.
