With product innovation and high safety standards, FPL Food has broadened its reach on a national and global level.
Consolidation in the beef processing industry has reduced the number of large players to just a handful of companies. While the billion-dollar corporations process the bulk of the cattle that is slaughtered in the United States, there is still room for smaller, regional companies to carve out a profitable operation. In the case of FPL Food, it has become the largest privately owned, vertically integrated beef provider in the Southeast, less than 10 years after it was founded.
