Since the 1800s, the Schweid family has been providing the New York area with high-quality beef. Schweid & Sons, started by David Schweid in 1978, has become a leader in supplying high-quality burgers to restaurants throughout the country. The company, headquartered in Carlstadt, N.J., has moved outside of its Northeast home for the first time, establishing a new processing facility in College Park, Ga. The company officially dedicated this facility on March 30. The company kicked off operations by inviting town officials, contractors who worked on the building renovation, employees and others to a ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception. Along with several varieties of gourmet sliders, a burger-shaped cake was served to guests.

The new, 66,000 square foot facility is Schweid & Sons first-ever expansion and is contributing to the revitalization of College Park by creating 90+ jobs. The facility utilizes-state-of-the-art equipment to produce high-quality fresh and frozen products; cut down transportation time for customers located in the south, south central and lower Midwest regions of the United States, and ensure fresher product on a quicker timeline.
