Bill and Treva Andreetta know how to bring home the bacon to Manteca.
The owners of Sunnyvalley Meats are in the process of expanding their Manteca operation on West Yosemite Avenue directly across the tracks from the Lathrop-Manteca ACE station. The firm currently employs 200 and supplies top quality ham, bacon and turkey to supermarket chains.
The Manteca City Council recognized the couple Tuesday for their current expansion project that is targeted for completion in mid-2017.
The original part of the 49,730-square-foot processing plant was built in 2000 with 6,000 square feet of that added in 2010. The latest addition expands that space by 65 percent by adding 32,280 more square feet. Additional workers will be hired
Sunnyvalley Smoked Meats was established In 1990 by Bill Andreetta. The Andreetta family has been in the meat business in Manteca since 1959. The family bought a meat locker plant and operated it as Manteca Meat Service for many years. Andreetta purchased the business from his father in 1972 after his service in the U.S. Army.
