Tyson Foods will open a major “case-ready” meat plant in Sherman, Texas employing as many as 1,600 people. Tyson will spend approximately $100 million to renovate the former Oscar Mayer plant in Sherman. Initial operations are expected to begin in early 2006. The plant will be transformed into Tyson's largest case-ready operation, producing pre-packaged cuts of fresh beef and pork that are ready for retail grocers to place directly into the meat case.
