Why cable sits here 02
The Opelousas industrial base
Ventura Foods makes dressings, sauces and mayonnaise at its Opelousas plant, and Walmart operates a regional distribution centre in the city that it is modernising with automation and robotics. Opelousas General Health System tops the parish's published employer list.
Cable surplus therefore comes from three places: process and packaging equipment in food manufacturing, conveyor and controls work in a large distribution centre, and institutional construction. Washdown-rated cable and drives feature more than medium voltage.
Food processing
Ventura Foods operates a manufacturing plant at 715 North Railroad Avenue in Opelousas making dressings, sauces and mayonnaise.
Distribution and automation
Walmart is investing more than $330 million to modernise its Opelousas regional distribution centre with added automation and robotics.
I-49 corridor
I-49 runs through Opelousas, which the parish markets as the midpoint of the corridor, with U.S. 190 crossing the city.

Questions —
Opelousas wire buying questions
Do you buy washdown-rated cable from food plants?
Yes. Food plants use cable rated for washdown and chemical cleaning, and its jacket rating is printed and reviewed.
Is automation work at the distribution centre a source?
Conveyor and controls retrofits generate control and drive cable, usually in modest quantities documented against the project.
What about refrigeration cable?
It is reviewed on its jacket rating and moisture exposure, and kept separate from general building wire.
Can Opelousas and Eunice be one route?
Yes. They are close enough that combining them makes a small lot viable.
