I do large project engineering for food companies. I am not involved with the projects noted in the original post but currently involved with similar projects with other companies. The food processing industry is going through a wave of consolidation and improving efficiency. In short they are building new plants to be able to shutdown old plants. The new plants are more highly automated and streamlined. The old plants are just getting too old and inefficient. A lot of the current food processing facilities where built in the 1960s and 1970s.
