RANTOUL — Rantoul Foods pork processing plant will build five more loading docks, a shipping office and another finished-product cooling unit to handle the large number of hogs being processed.
The plant, located in Rantoul at 205 Turner Drive in the village's industrial park, slaughters and processes between 3,700 and 4,000 hogs a day.
James Jendruczek, president and managing partner, said the facility needs to grow to keep up with the product load.
"There are not enough" docks, Jendruczek said, adding that the company knew before it opened in June that more would be needed.
"We will have eight docks that we can use to load out the fresh product," Jendruczek said.
