(Fort Wayne, IN) - Tippmann Group has landed another major construction project. Tippmann has signed a contract with Packerland Packing, a division of Smithfield Foods, to build a 115,000 square foot refrigerated/frozen distribution center addition to their manufacturing plant in Green Bay, WI.

The new facility will serve as a distribution center and cooler/freezer for finished meat products. It will also include a conveyor, attaching it to the manufacturing plant. The conveyor will transfer finished products to the distribution center quickly and easily. The building is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2004.

This is the second time in two years that Tippmann Group has worked together with a division of Smithfield Foods. Tippmann is nearly finished with a similar project for Moyer Packing in Souderton, PA, where another finished goods distribution center is being attached to the plant via a conveyor.
