SHIPPING SWINE: Struthers' new meat distribution center in Waukon, Iowa, is up and running, as the Charleston-based biotech startup wants to ship 1.5 million pounds or more of packaged pork a year.
Hogs destined for Struthers' Tender Prime meat line are processed at the Lorentz Meats packing plant in nearby Cannon Falls, Minn. A freezer at the new Elite Visions distribution site can handle 30,000 pounds of pork a week at temperatures of 20 degrees below zero, according to an article in the Waukon Standard newspaper.
Struthers bought three-year-old Elite Visions in June. Lorentz Meats plans its first full shipment to the facility in mid-October, with the product then transported to retail customers, the article says.
Struthers Inc. is involved in swine genetics including artificial insemination.
