Protein Problem Solver: Software technology for catch-weight management
In 1936, Roger Wood co-founded a meatpacking company in Savannah, Ga., called Wood-Robbins Sausage, which turned into Roger Wood Foods (www.rogerwoodfoods.com) under his sole ownership, after World War II. Still a family-owned business today, the processor produces more than a half-million pounds a week of smoked sausage and other smoked meats that are distributed across eight southern states through foodservice as well as national and regional grocery chains. The SQF Level 2000-certified company employs about 200 people at its 100,000-square-foot facility.
