Pork producer Smithfield Foods has a large and complex network of operations – from agricultural production to food processing and retail supply chain. In 2015, they set out to cut costs, improve operations, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. With a dedicated industrial design team, Progressive AE was asked to provide solutions for the Midwest, Southeast and Northeast distribution centers. Of these, the Northeast facility is the newest and most innovative.

Working through multiple sessions with Smithfield, Progressive AE helped develop priorities for this new project. To help meet goals, the new distribution center was designed to do the following:

• Elevate sustainability
• Enhance productivity
• Improve process to reduce costs
• Increase safety for people
• Increase throughput to increase revenue
• Protect product quality and value
