Daily's Premium Meats to expand Missouri plant with $95m investment
Daily's Premium Meats has announced a $95m investment to expand its bacon processing plant in St. Joseph, Missouri. Expected to be completed by the summer 2026, the expansion will add 111,000 square feet of new space to the facility, including smoke houses, slicing rooms, bacon production and warehousing. The project is expected to create about 100 jobs, Daily's Premium Meats, which is equally owned by Seaboard Foods and Triumph Foods, said in a statement. It added that the expansion will boost bacon production for both the foodservice and retail channels. Separately, the Missouri Department of Economic Development said the St. Joseph plant currently produces 2.5% of the country's bacon, and with the expansion, that is likely to increase to 5%. Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe said: 'This company's [Daily's] strategic decision to grow in northern Missouri is a testament to the region's skilled workforce and ability to support leading manufacturers.' Daily's said in its statement that the parts of the current production zones, opened in 2016, will also be revamped to 'integrate new technologies and improve efficiency'. 'Daily's is proud to be part of the St. Joseph community and this expansion will not only enhance our production capabilities for premium bacon products but also bring valuable job opportunities, driving the economic growth of St. Joseph,' Joe Richmond, Daily's vice president and general manager, said. The upgrade will implement new technology, such as in-line slicing to 'increase efficiencies and yields', and equipment to 'optimise' belly sizing and docking before palletisation, the statement added. According to the Missouri Department of Economic Development, Daily's expansion will benefit from the Missouri Works programme, which supports business growth and employee retention by offering capital access through tax credits or withholdings tied to job creation. In addition to the St. Joseph plant, Daily's operates bacon processing facilities in Missoula, Montana, and Salt Lake City, Utah.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — A groundbreaking ceremony took place Monday outside of Daily's Premium Meats to officially start an expansion that will double the size of the plant. Many political figures were in attendance, including Missouri Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe. We're going to continue as governor to make sure Missouri is a place businesses can grow," Gov. Kehoe said. "Where innovation is welcome and where our workforce remains one of the strongest in the country." The $95 million expansion will bring in about 115 new jobs and now St. Joseph, Missouri, will produce 5% of the bacon in the United States. Buchanan County Western District Commissioner Ron Hook said the new jobs and more bacon were some of the main positives from the expansion. "We got a of workforce people really wanting to work, get to work and have good jobs," Hook said. "Buchanan County and the City of St. Joseph are here to help any business around to create more jobs for the people that need the work." St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Natalie Hawn said one of the successes St. Joseph has had is "growing its own." "When we have a company here, really working with them to expand here versus other parts of the country and that is exactly what happened here with Daily's," Hawn said. "They are a great partner and they're looking to expand here in St. Joseph, where they already had a plant, literally doubling the size of what they have today." The expansion will take five years to complete. Gov. Kehoe complimented the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce during his speech and said they have an understanding of "what the end game is," which is to create more opportunities for Missourians. "Whenever you have a chamber that is that involved, that integrated into the community, you see good success like we have here at Daily's," Gov. Kehoe said. "We couldn't be happier with the (near) $100 million expansion and the over 100 jobs we are adding to the area.
