Re: MBA poultry Lincoln NE

MBA Poultry, one of Tecumseh's largest employers. It will expand to Waverly.

About the MBA poultry at Lincoln NE

The company's plans to build a corporate headquarters and final processing, packaging and distribution center in Waverly could mean up to 225 jobs for the Lancaster County town.

Many of those jobs will come at the expense of the Tecumseh plant, which could lose up to 300 jobs.

The Waverly expansion is driven by demand for the company's air-chilled Smart Chicken product.

MBA is the only company in the United States that produces air-chilled fresh chicken.

In 2000, a year in which MBA filed bankruptcy and temporarily closed, the company processed fewer than 2 million chickens

It plans to process 13.7 million chickens this year.

That success will mean growth for Waverly.

The expansion will bring 175 to 225 jobs to the town including administrative, sales, technical and packaging positions.

The company chose Waverly because of its proximity to Interstate 80, Lincoln and Omaha.

Initial processing of the company's chicken will stay in Tecumseh, but with a smaller work force.

On March 21, when a second shift was begin, the Tecumseh plant have 375 to 400 employees.

That will be reduced to about 100 after the move to Waverly.
