Emydex site visit to Sustainable Beef, Nebraska

28th November 2024

Visiting Sustainable Beef in Nebraska

Earlier this month in Mid-November, Shane Hayes, Emydex Product Manager and Cody Musclow, Project Manager with Emydex North America, visited the new Sustainable Beef packing plant in North Platte, Nebraska as part of our business discovery, and requirements gathering phase. In this article, we share highlights from the Emydex Sustainable Beef Nebraska site visit and what it means for our North American strategy.

The visit marked a significant step in this latest Emydex project with Sustainable Beef, enabling Emydex to gain deeper insights into the workings and processes within this greenfield plant, from farm to fork, from ranchers to retailers, including some truly innovative processes.

Partnership Between Emydex and Sustainable Beef

Shane Hayes, said “we are thrilled to be chosen to partner with Sustainable Beef in this new start up venture in the US. This project’s scope includes many ‘firsts’ from various stakeholders, which makes it a very exciting project to be involved in. After touring the plant and gaining a clear understanding of the vision for this new enterprise, we believe that the term ‘the biggest little plant in the US’ is perfectly fitting.

Emydex pay special thanks to the Sustainable Beef team, especially Kris Smith, Ryan Wagnon for their support and contributions.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to drive forward with this exciting project!
