HyLife Finishes $176 Million Expansion at the Neepawa Processing Plant
Posted in: Pork Insight Articles, Production by student on June 19, 2018

Publication: Prairie Hog Country, June/July 2018
During an open house HyLife displayed the $176 million dollar expansion, which mostly focused on the Neepawa processing plant. The company installed leading edge technology as well as added 100 thousand square feet to the processing plant.
This $176 million also includes the establishment of a feed mill in Killarney and hog barns in western Manitoba. Through the upgrade and expansion HyLife created 165 jobs for Canadians. The majority of the meat that is produced by HyLife is exported to Asian markets in the form of fresh chilled pork.
The expansion added technology that will aid in increasing the shelf life of this pork as it is essential being as there is a significant amount of travel time for these markets. Most of the pork that HyLife exports the company produces, however they do purchase some of it from producers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
