Denis Vielfaure: Springhill Farms

HyLife Foods Dept: "It's very exciting," HyLife Foods' chief operating officer, Denis Vielfaure, said, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "You can't just turn a switch one day and expect to be ready; it's a slow feathering-in process," Vielfaure said and with the brick and mortar in place following a major expansion, HyLife Foods in Neepawa is beginning the process of ramping up to full production and hiring 250 workers. The company, which purchased the Springhill Farms hog-slaughtering plant in 2008, always intended to expand the facility's processing capacity. Now, with the addition of a second shift, HyLife will slowly begin to increase production with the goal of processing 28,000 hogs per week by the end of the year -- an increase of 10,000 from the previous capacity.
