Springdale, Ark. — Tyson Foods announced today that it will end operations at its Lexington, Nebraska beef facility as part of network changes designed to “right size” its beef business and position it for long-term success.
The company also plans to convert its Amarillo, Texas beef facility to a single, full-capacity shift while increasing production at other Tyson beef facilities to meet customer demand.
In its statement, Tyson Foods acknowledged the impact these decisions will have on team members and local communities. The company said it is committed to supporting affected employees through the transition, including helping them apply for positions at other facilities and providing relocation benefits.
Tyson Foods emphasized that these changes are intended to ensure the company continues delivering “high-quality, affordable, and nutritious protein for generations to come.”
