In an October 20th release, Tyson Foods Inc. announced an expansion of the Seguin, TX. plant located west of San Antonio on I-10. It is intended to add 40,000 square feet to the existing facility and to install modern equipment to improve throughput and efficiency. The plant currently employs 550 workers and contributes materially to the Seguin community and to growers supplying the complex. 
The intent of the expansion and upgrade will be to supply both food service and retail segments of the chicken market with further-processed products in response to growing demand.
