Daily’s Premium Meats Featured in Meat + Poultry Magazine

The February issue of Meat + Poultry Magazine, a publication for news, ideas, trends, innovations, issues & more that impact the meat & poultry processing industry, features an in-depth look at the new Daily’s Premium Meats Bacon Plant in St. Joseph, Missouri. This $41.5 million plant produces sliced-to-order naturally hardwood smoked bacon and includes approximately 22,000 sf of refrigerated storage & coolers ranging in temperature from 34 degrees to a -10 degree freezer.

Fusion Tech had the privilege of supplying design, layout, and equipment fabrication services for two of the production rooms in the new bacon plant: a bacon injection, pepper, and hang line as well as a bacon press room.
