JBS Foods Canada is expanding its beef processing facility at Brooks.

Work is already underway on a new beef processing line and warehouse expansion. The $90 million investment includes a new patty processing line and a state-of-the-art fulfillment centre, that is expected to be completed for the fall of 2025. With the expansion, JBS Canada will produce almost seven million more kilograms of beef patties every year for restaurants in Western Canada. Premier Danielle Smith says JBS is a cornerstone in Brooks, creating jobs and ensuring Alberta’s world-renowned beef makes it to the millions who love to eat it. “This expansion is great news for JBS, Brooks and Alberta as a whole, showing the importance of our Agri-Processing Investment Tax Credit. Our local and provincial economies are growing and that’s exciting to see.” Stats show that in 2023, Alberta beef production totalled almost one million tonnes, with meat product sales of $12.2 billion. JBS President Celio Fritche says they are pleased to be investing in the Brooks beef processing facility.
