The Smithton abattoir which closed following the demise of Blue Ribbon before Christmas will start production again tomorrow under its new owner, HS Greenhams.


Almost 100 meatworkers will be relieved to resume work at the northern Tasmanian plant, which has been at a standstill since December, when Blue Ribbon went into receivership.


Plant manager Jack Erichsen says the facility should process 100 cattle tomorrow, with this figure back up at 200 per day by the end of the week.
