Seaboard Triumph Foods is celebrating the one-year anniversary of the start-up of production at their Sioux City hog processing facility.  Seaboard’s Chief Operating Officer, Mark Porter, says production continues to increase at the plant and they recently set a record.

That adds up to around three million hogs annually. Porter says the company’s pork is sent all over the world.

The increased production has led to an increase in employment too for Seaboard Triumph. They now have 18-hundred workers and Porter hopes to soon increase that number to more than two-thousand. Seaboard Triumph has invested more than 330 million dollars in its campus in Sioux City.
