Perdue Farms Expanding Tennessee Poultry Plant, Contractor Identified

---

Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated Houston, Texas). Family owned and operated Perdue Farms Incorporated (Salisbury, Maryland), is expanding its poultry further processing plant in Monterey, Tennessee. The company acquired some property adjacent to the existing plant and is planning to expand the operation through a 16,000 square foot building expansion and new equipment addition. Plans call for the installation of new freezer space, rooms for further processing and packaging of poultry, and a new slicing operation, for an investment of around $17 million.

Currently, the old employee parking lot is being torn out to make room for the addition, which will be connected to the existing plant, and the building portion of the project is expected to be enclosed by October 2005, just in time for the new equipment arrivals.

Perdue selected leading food and beverage plant builder, The Stellar Group (Jacksonville, Florida), to act as the general contractor for the job. Construction is expected to be completed by April of 2006.

Perdue Farms is one of America's most trusted and recognized brand names. Ranked third in sales in the poultry industry, the company is a leading international food and agriculture business. Operating subsidiaries, which include Perdue Farms, provide quality products and services to retail, foodservice, and agricultural customers in more than forty countries. The company has processing, further-processing, and cooking plants throughout the eastern half of the United States.
