The 2011 Independent Processor Top 75 Report

The small and mid-sized meat sector continues to thrive among economic uncertainty.

In a year that saw concerns over feed prices, fears over government regulations and worries over transportation costs, it’s comforting to know that many meat and poultry companies experienced strong sales – record sales in some instances.

The mid-sized and small-processor sector of the meat processing industry continues to demonstrate the creativity and initiative that are necessary in trying times. Rather than maintaining the status quo, many of the companies in this year’s report have invested in expanding their facilities, developing new products, expanding into new territories or adding needed technology.
