Pilgrim's to close Dallas processing facility
GREELEY, Colo. -- Pilgrim's Pride Corp. has announced plans to close its chicken-processing plant in Dallas, Texas, within 60 days as part of its continuing effort to reduce costs and operate more efficiently.
The Dallas plant is scheduled to close by Sept. 30, 2011. Production from the Dallas plant will be consolidated into several other Pilgrim's facilities in the region, including the processing and prepared-foods plants in Mt. Pleasant, Texas, thus improving their capacity utilization. Other live production operations in Northeast Texas will continue to function.
