Ex Swift Factory

You have probably heard about Swift meat processing plant, for what we suggest you visit the avenue Roca and Malaspina, where this meat processing factory was installed..

This factory was built next to other exististing plants, and they joined all their infraestructure with a cargo pier in the estuary, connected to a railway track.

In this plant they ellaborated selected ovine products, which were exported to Europe. The ships brought coal from England and returned with cold meat and canned ovine products.

At the beginning, the laborers, who reached more than 400 , were brought directly from the city of La Plata, and many of them stayed here forever.

Swift payed incredible sums to the cattle breeders who sold them the meat, and it was undoubtedly a progress factor until the modern times required other alternatives to the meat processing industry, production decreased, and the plant was closed.
