Food Plant of the Year

Food Engineering magazine

The plant, named by Food Engineering magazine as its 2010 “Food Plant of the Year,” features three processing lines to cook, cool and package products. The three lines are fully segregated with distinct electric, air-handling and water systems for each of the lines. In addition to the processing area, the facility includes administrative offices, employee break rooms, a machine room, a battery-charging room and truck docks.

Stellar also built an adjoining distribution center, owned and operated by Southern Cold Storage.
