Westfield, Wisconsin-based
Brakebush Brothers Inc. will
build a new 315,000-sq.-ft. chicken
processing plant in Greenville,
Texas, announced the office of
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. This will
be the second location in Texas
and is expected to create an
estimated 800 jobs in Greenville's
Park West Industrial Park. A Texas
Enterprise Fund (TEF) grant
of $780,000 has been offered as
incentive to Brakebush.
"After a multi-state search, we
are excited about what Texas and
Greenville has to offer Brakebush
Brothers," said Carey Brakebush,
vice president of facilities and
transportation. "The pro-business
environment, the strength of the
labor force and the quality of the
site on which we will build this
state-of-the-art processing facility
all contributed to our decision
to choose Greenville. Brakebush
looks forward to expanding its
operations in Texas and building
a partnership with Greenville and
Hunt County for decades to come."
Brakebush Brothers is a
family owned processor of
chicken products that has been in
operation for 92 years.
