Mike Helgeson has had a long career in the poultry industry — more than 40 years in the business, with 21 of those as the CEO of St. Cloud, Minn.-based GNP Company. As 2014 draws to a close, Helgeson has announced his retirement, and in November, he officially handed over the reins to Steve Jurek, a 37-year company veteran who becomes the new president of GNP Company.
Mike Helgeson and Steve Jurek sat down with Andy Hanacek during his visit to discuss the year of transition after the transaction with the Maschhoffs business and the future plans of GNP Company in terms of expansion and innovation.
