Food manufacturer Westa Inc., the first tenant of the Port of Brownsville’s 118-acre business park, is finalizing the layout for its $20 million facilities at the port.

Taking advantage of the port’s maritime access, Westa Inc. will receive grains via barge from the Midwest, enhancing the company’s supply chain operations for its high-capacity flour mill and sunflower seed processing plant set to employ 120 people.

Last April, the company celebrated a ceremonial groundbreaking at its more than 10-acre site signaling the park’s optimal business advantage.

Currently in the final phase of construction, the Business Park is designed to support industrial growth for existing businesses at the port while attracting new opportunities. With direct connections to key transportation networks and international trade hubs, the business park provides an ideal location for companies looking to optimize logistics and strengthen their global presence.
