Colorado Premium, one of the country’s premier protein processors serving retailers, restaurant chains and private labels worldwide, announced the company is expanding its focus on the worldwide export market by hiring industry veteran Mark Gustafson as Director of International Sales. Gustafson was most recently the Director of International Beef Sales for JBS in Greeley.
Gustafson – who retired from JBS last year after a 38-year career that included positions with meat industry giants Monfort, U.S. Meat Export Federation, ConAgra International and Swift and Company – says he’s looking forward to the opportunity to lead the expansion of Colorado Premium’s export division. Colorado Premium currently services markets in the Middle East, Central America, the Caribbean, the Philippines, Taiwan and more, and plans to expand this base business in the sectors of food service, retail outlets, and distributors.
