IOWA CITY, Iowa - A U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge has approved the sale of an embattled northeast Iowa kosher slaughterhouse to a newly formed company.
Bankruptcy Judge Paul J. Kilburg on Monday approved the sale of Agriprocessors, Inc., to SHF Industries, a company formed by Canadian plastics manufacturer Hershey Friedman and his son-in-law Daniel Hirsch in May.
The sale ends months of speculation about the Postville plant's future since a massive immigration raid there in May 2008.
Friedman says he plans to continue the Postville meatpacking operation with a focus on kosher meat.
