• Equipment upgrades for four production lines
• One new production line
• New shipping dock and shipping office
• Conversion of part of the existing freezer to perishable finished goods storage to a new ASRS high density storage system with robot layer picking for order fulfillment
• New ASRS freezer warehouse to accommodate increased frozen storage volumes

Mar-Jac is currently processing 2.2 million chickens per week. Once this project is complete, they will be able to process 3.4 million chickens per week, a 65% increase in production.
