BRYAN COUNTY – BrucePac proudly announces an official Groundbreaking Ceremony to be held on March 9, 2022, at the company’s food processing facility in Durant, Okla.

The construction project is being led by builders and engineers of Plyler Construction, who have been designing and building in the area since 1960. Plyler is supported in this project by the expertise of Eikon Engineering Co., PermaCold Engineering Inc., and the in-house BrucePac support teams.

Jeff Grohs, President and CEO of BrucePac, expressed his support for the project.

“In 2014, we acquired the former JC Potter Sausage facility, and since then have expanded our operations and commitment to the community, our Team Members, and customers,” Grohs said. “To date, we have invested over $45 million in Durant, and this is just the beginning of our next phase of growth.”

“This project will enhance our capabilities and allow us to continue producing high-quality cooked meat products to better serve our customers and the marketplace,” said Marcelo Borsatto, Director of Operations.
