In 2018, Wayne Farms produced 47.80 million pounds of ready-to-cook chicken weekly, a nearly 1.5 percent increase from the previous year, ranking it seventh.
In March 2018, the company expanded its operations with a new $4.5 million Customer Innovation Center in Decatur, Alabama, for product creation, design and testing. The company also announced in June 2018 that it was planning a total overhaul of its 10 hatcheries, the first of which was to be completed by September 2018.
In line with the company’s long-term plan, in March 2019, Wayne Farms purchased a 125-acre parcel of land near Dobson, North Carolina, adjacent to its feed mill and hatchery.
