JBS, the global meat company, has announced the planned closure of two of its facilities in Pennsylvania and Tennessee. The closures will affect a beef production facility located in Souderton (PA), which is a suburb of Philadelphia, alongside a value-added facility based in Memphis (TN).
According to the company, these operational changes are part of a broader strategy focused on growth, modernization and long-term competitiveness in the USA. Production from the two affected sites will be absorbed into other operations across its network, ensuring continuity of supply and service for customers.
Commenting on the closures, JBS USA CEO Wesley Batista Filho stated: “These decisions are never easy because they directly affect our team members and the communities where we operate. […] At the same time, we must ensure our operations are efficient, modern, and positioned to compete”.
