JBS investing $150M to expand Cactus, Texas beef facility

Meatpacker JBS is moving forward with a major expansion project in the Southern U.S.

The company recently broke ground on a $150 million expansion project at its beef production plant in Cactus, Texas. JBS officials say the project includes construction of a new state-of-the-art fabrication floor and an expanded ground beef room.

JBS says the investment is expected to increase operational efficiency, enhance production capacity, and create new opportunities for U.S. cattle producers.

JBS USA’s CEO, Wesley Batista Filho, said the company has a “long-term commitment to the U.S. beef industry and the rural communities where we live and work.”

The Cactus facility currently employs more than 3,600 team members and partners with local cattle producers, purchasing approximately $3.3 billion in livestock annually.

JBS says construction is expected to be completed by early 2027.
