Winkler Meats Expanding |
An expansion plan is in place for the province's only federally-inspected beef and bison processing facility. Portage-Lisgar MP Candice Hoeppner, on behalf of Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, announced a 310 thousand dollar repayable loan for Winkler Meats on Friday. President Dickson Gould says the company plans on adding another 2500 square feet to its facility, which will increase capacity by around 20 percent. The federal funding will also be used to install two new smokehouses and upgrade production line equipment. More information federal funding announcement for Winkler Meats.
