AdvancePierre employees celebrate growth, Volunteer Day
Elected officials and community leaders joined with executives and employees from AdvancePierre Foods to celebrate the growth of the company and its commitment to community service. At the company's headquarters, AdvancePierre Foods officially unveiled its new logo and signage, the result of a recent merger that doubled the size of the company to a more than $1.5 billion business. Volunteers then partnered with the Freestore Foodbank to package take-home food items for 500 needy children in the Cincinnati area while other local employees prepared the Hamilton Living Water Ministry, Inc. children's facility for fall activities.
At the event, AdvancePierre Foods' CEO Bill Toler discussed the company's growth throughout the United States as a result of a merger that took place last year and the recent acquisition of Barber Foods in June 2011. He noted that the success of the private sector benefits the community through the creation of jobs and a strong tax base, as well as local nonprofit organizations, like the Freestore Foodbank and Hamilton Living Water Ministry Inc., that receive assistance from burgeoning companies like AdvancePierre Foods.
