Triumph Foods is expanding in St. Joseph.
The Missouri Department of Economic Development reports Triumph will add 88 jobs to its pork processing plant in south St. Joseph.
Triumph opened its 800-Thousand-square-foot plant in 2006. The facility processes 1-point-5(B)Billion pounds of pork products annually.
Triumph executives say the pork processor works to better the St. Joseph area, donating more than 100-Thousand pounds of pork products to local food banks this year.
Triumph used the Missouri Works program to finance the expansion. The program provides access to capital for expansion through tax withholdings or tax credits.
Triumph Foods employs approximately 2,400 workers.
