JBS USA, a food distributor, announced plans to invest $135 million to build a sausage production facility in Perry, Iowa. The project, once approved, will create 500 total direct jobs and an estimated 250 local construction jobs. The company hopes to begin construction in late 2025, with operations expected to commence in late 2026.
The new facility plans to produce 130 million pounds of sausage, processing 500,000 sows each year. This output can feed more than four million people nationwide annually, helping meet growing consumer demand for high-quality protein.
