Tai Shin celebrates Pleasant Hope plant's opening

Posted online
Taiwan-based Tai Shin Foods and Springfield-based staffing firm Penmac will hold a grand opening Friday for Tai Shin’s new Pleasant Hope plant.

From 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the plant, attendees can take tours of the hog-processing facility, 5305 H. Highway, and enjoy lunch, according to a chamber news release.

Plans for Tai Shin’s pork processing plant date back to 2000. More than $6 million in foreign direct investment later, Taiwanese businessman James Hsu is leading his family’s foray into the U.S. market.

Penmac is serving as Tai Shin’s employer of record, handling all personnel aspects.

The plant has 74 workers processing about 200 hogs a day, with capacity for 300 employees processing about 2,000 hogs a day.

Tai Shin plans to export to Taiwan, Japan and Vietnam, and provides custom services for domestic clients.

See SBJ’s June 9 issue for more about Tai Shin’s operations and other manufacturing news.
