Triumph Foods has announced it plans to expand its pork processing facility in St. Joseph.

According to a news release, the 12,000 square-foot expansion includes robotic palletization technology to increase the speed of outbound shipping and reduce manual handing of finished products. Triumph said the facility will also add product storage, allowing the company’s partner, Seaboard Foods to expand its marketing and selling to domestic retail and food service customers.

The expansion is expected to be completed in spring of 2018
