I do large project engineering for food companies. I am not involved with the projects noted in the original post but currently involved with similar projects with other companies. The food processing industry is going through a wave of consolidation and improving efficiency. In short they are building new plants to be able to shutdown old plants.

Trying to make large updates to an existing plant and keep it in operation is just really difficult. This also gives them the ability to negotiate with local governments to get economic incentives to build the new plant in their town.
