Allen Family Foods Expanding Poultry Plant in Delaware

---

Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated; Houston, Texas). Family owned and operated, Allen Family Foods Incorporated (Seaford, Delaware) is planning to expand its poultry processing plant in Harbeson, Delaware. Final building construction permits have yet to be issued on the project. Once the project clears the local permitting hurdles, the company plans to construct a 20,000 square foot building addition that will expand four areas of the plant’s operations. Plans for the new square footage include a new employee cafeteria, expanded cold storage, a new shipping dock, and a new box room.

The company selected Evans Builders Incorporated (Salisbury, Maryland) as the general contractor for this estimated $2 million expansion. Site preparation and building construction are scheduled to get underway soon. Completion of the project is expected by October of 2005.

Allen Family Foods began in 1919 as a chicken hatchery. Today, the company operates three processing plants and employs about 2,400 people at several locations including company-owned and independent grow-out farms in Delaware, Maryland, and North Carolina. Currently, the company processes about 2.5 million birds per week and packs about ten million pounds of finished poultry products per week.
