Swift prepared foods, a U.S. consumer packaged goods company, mainly protein-based prepared foods, has opened a new plant with the Italian-American name "Principe Foods" for the production of Italian meats and cold cuts in Columbia, Missouri.

The new production facility cost $200 million and covers an area of 325,000 square meters. With the new opening, Principe Foods has created 100 new jobs in the region and plans to hire another 100-200 people over the next year.
