Major Pork Producer Saves Project Money With S&L Pump Station

When a major pork producer sought cost-effective pumping solutions to one of its Kansas facility's wastewater systems, the search led to the installation of a Smith & Loveless above-grade pump station.

Premium Standard Farms (#2 hog producer and #7 pork processor) and Johnsonville Farms (#1 sausage, bratwurst producer) formed a joint venture following the acquisition of Oldham’s sausage plant in Holton, Kansas. Renamed Oldham’s LLC and overseen by Premium Standard Farm’s Kansas City office, the facility employs more than 160 people and boasts both slaughtering and processing capabilities of up to 600 head daily.
