THE QUICK READ
Tyson Processing Services opened a $355 million bacon-processing plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky in January 2024, a 400,000-square-foot facility that produces two million pounds of Jimmy Dean and Wright Brand bacon per week. The plant uses driverless forklifts and autonomous guided vehicles to move pork bellies along the processing lines, pack and stack boxes, and transport product through the building. Its ammonia refrigeration system holds roughly 136,700 pounds, well above the 10,000-pound threshold that triggers a federal process safety management program. Bowling Green is the third-largest city in Kentucky with a population near 78,000, located along Interstate 65 about 110 miles south of Louisville.

ABOUT TYSON FOODS
Tyson Foods began in 1935 when John W. Tyson started hauling chickens for sale from Arkansas, incorporating in 1947 and going public in 1963. It grew through acquisitions, including IBP in 2001, which added large-scale beef and pork processing, and Hillshire Brands in 2014, adding Jimmy Dean and Ball Park to its own Tyson, Hillshire Farm, Wright Brand, Aidells, and State Fair brands. By fiscal 2025, Tyson operated roughly 200 facilities worldwide, employed about 133,000 people, and reported $54.4 billion in revenue.
