KENDALLVILLE — A new egg processing facility opening in Kendallville is expected to bring a significant economic boost to the area while expanding production capacity for one of the nation’s leading egg suppliers. At 1 p.m. Thursday, March 12, Herbruck’s Poultry Ranch, a fourth-generation family-owned company headquartered in Michigan, is cutting the ribbon on a 75,000-square-foot processing plant on Weston Avenue.
The project represents an investment of more than $20 million in the Kendallville community and surrounding region. The facility will process about 420 million eggs each year and said to employ about 60.
State officials say the project strengthens Indiana’s agricultural supply chain and supports the distribution of farm products across the Midwest. The company received Economic Development for a Growing Economy tax credits from the state in recognition of the jobs expected to be created by the project.
Herbruck’s said the new facility will expand its egg processing capacity while allowing eggs produced on Indiana farms to be processed locally and shipped directly to customers from the Kendallville site…
