Central Maine Meats is a USDA inspected meat-processing plant for animals such as cows, pigs and lamb. The animals are delivered live to the slaughter facility at the Libby Hill Business Park. Workers harvest the animal and process the hanging meat into consumer-ready products. The company partners with firms and distributors seeking to market and utilize these products in a variety of ways, providing direct services to local customers from a store front at 563 Brunswick Avenue.
The company has a newly-constructed building, with high quality interior finishes. The walls of each room in the processing plant are covered with galvalume wall panels, ensuring USDA standards are met in a washable area. The concrete floors have been coated with an epoxy based paint, creating a nonslip surface for the safety of our employees. All refrigeration units are brand new and highly efficient.
