Clemens to expand Pennsylvania plant


Clemens Food Group, one of the nation’s largest pork processors and a buyer of Ontario hogs, is making a bold $130 million investment to renovate and expand its flagship facility in Hatfield, Pennsylvania. 

The expansion is designed to increase bacon, sausage, and value-added pork production while enhancing food safety, efficiency, and capacity, the company said.

Renovations to the existing 60,000-square-foot plant began earlier this year, and the expansion phase is set to break ground later this year. By the first half of 2027, the facility will be more than 100,000 square feet, signaling Clemens’ confidence in the growing demand for premium pork products.

“We are investing in this project to continue our commitment to the highest levels of safety and food safety, and to improve product flow,” the company’s spokesman said.
