We are thrilled to mark a landmark moment at JBS Australia with the launch of a second shift at our renowned Dinmore processing facility. This expansion is much more than a boost in operations; it's a testament to our unwavering dedication to answering the increasing customer demands for our high-quality products.
Dinmore's significance in JBS’s network is now further underscored as we back our confidence in the facility and its output with tangible action – offering even more value to our stakeholders and the communities we serve.
The ramp-up couldn't have been possible without the integration of over 300 spirited new team members – a number that continues to grow, thanks to a dynamic recruitment initiative commenced last year and still in full swing. As we celebrate this expansion, our pride resonates not just in the enhanced capabilities of the facility but also in fortifying its role as a cornerstone of employment within the local area.
We express our deepest gratitude to every individual who has contributed to reaching this pivotal milestone. This is an exciting juncture as we look forward to continuing to support our local economy and fostering community relations, while maintaining our pledge to safety, quality, and excellence.
To those who have joined us on this journey and to those still considering, know that at JBS, every role is crafted to support your growth and success within the company. Here, you're not just joining a facility - you're becoming a vital part of a sustainable, supportive, and forward-thinking community.
Here's to the future – which looks incredibly bright from Dinmore!

In the early 20th century, Upton Sinclair's groundbreaking novel, "The Jungle," shone a harsh light on the deplorable conditions within America's meatpacking plants. His vivid depiction of unsanitary practices and exploitative labor shocked the nation and spurred significant reforms. Since then, the landscape of the meatpacking industry has undergone a remarkable transformation, marked by stringent regulations, enhanced safety standards, and technological advancements. Today, modern protein processing plants stand as shining examples of efficiency, cleanliness, and safety, a far cry from the grim portrayals of the past. Read more in our latest blog!

This past weekend, my family and I visited our local vineyard, Messina Hof Winery and Resort, for the Harvest Festival!
If you’ve never done one, I recommend you find a vineyard nearby and go. There’s just something about getting out in the rows of vines, helping pick the grapes, and then jumping into a big ol’ bin of grapes and stomping around!
I love that it’s our family tradition. We first did it as our mini-honeymoon in 2014. We’ve only missed two years since then, and that was because we were in Alaska and not able to justify a trip back. But the kids both ‘did’ Harvest as infants.
Emma won the Big Kahuna contest at a year old and still has the necklace.
Not to mention, we love the people and the wine!
This year, we skipped the tour and tasting, though. We’ve done the tour A LOT. And we know our way around tasting a wine 😂
So we opted for lunch and glasses in the restaurant on the grounds (BIG shout to Chef Zeke and his crew for making us feel safe eating there with our daughter with #celiacdisease).
We took some of the old system and tweaked it to suit our new needs and wants.
And that’s how you should be approaching ALL systems at work. Yep. I said ALL.
It won’t always result in a change, but you should never consider a process finalized. Eventually, there will be a way to improve or optimize it.
Never be afraid to suggest a change or assess a legacy process or system and find a way to improve it.
ESPECIALLY if it’s new to you, fresh eyes often make the most significant impact.
Continuous improvement should be everyone’s goal—for their programs, for themselves and for life. You may get shot down a few times, but be persistent if you know it’s the best move!
I appreciate being with Lockheed Martin, a company encouraging change and innovation. Challenging us all to constantly think of how to do our jobs better and help keep our customers ahead of ready. From #remotework to #ai, Lockheed Martin empowers us to forge the path forward and not rely solely on legacy operations to fuel our future.
Now, a big shout out to my husband, Timothy Bridge, for making this the first year we’ve ever set the shirts with our footprints 😂
