The Plainwell facility began operations in 1918 under the Murray Packing company.
In the 1960's, it was acquired by Murco and in 1998 by Packerland.
In 2000, Packerland was acquired by Smithfield.
In 2010, the facility joined the JBS USA family.
Plainwell is the only JBS plant with Modified Atmospheric Packaging (MAP), a packaging process that changes oxygen levels to extend shelf-life.
The MAP process is a part of the Plainwell ground beef operation.
Plainwell is also one of the few plants that produces ground beef patties.
Over one million lbs (450,000 kg) of beef are produced each day.
The Plainwell facility produces biogas in an anaerobic lagoon and uses it in place of natural gas to heat a portion of the water used in the plant.
The facility was recognized by the American Meat Institute as a Tier 3 facility for its accomplishments with ISO 14001.
Plainwell recently built a $31 million distribution center (85,000 ft²) with a 55,000 box capacity.
