Hormel Foods enhances its manufacturing operations.

Hormel Foods is ceasing bacon production at its Tucker, Georgia plant to streamline operations, citing outdated equipment and the need for significant investment to meet long-term goals. Production has been relocated to other facilities as part of a broader multiyear transformation initiative aimed at enhancing the supply chain and increasing annual operating income by at least $250 million. This includes various projects such as opening a new distribution center in Memphis and implementing standardized manufacturing processes. Hormel has also seen changes in its supply chain leadership to support these efforts.
