Standard Meat Co.<\/a>, a fourth-generation family business based in Fort Worth, Texas<\/a>, has opened a new meat processing facility in the city’s historic Stockyards district. According to a report from Meat+Poultry, the opening was part of celebrations marking the company’s 90th anniversary. The new plant is the company’s fifth operational site, joining others in Texas.<\/p>\n Expansion Driven by Ready-to-Eat Demand<\/p>\n The leadership, co-presidents Ashli Rosenthal Blumenfeld and Ben Rosenthal, initiated a site search to accommodate growing customer demand for ready-to-eat products, specifically requiring more sous vide capacity. The company, historically focused on ready-to-cook items, had previously tested and expanded its sous vide operations at another location, which reached capacity quickly. After a search beginning in late 2021 and lasting through 2022, the company selected a location near its headquarters, closing on the property in March 2023.<\/p>\n Renovation of a Historic Building<\/p>\n The chosen building, originally constructed in 1957 as part of a larger processing plant and later used for cold storage, required extensive renovation. The company stripped the structure to its studs, replacing plumbing, electrical, lighting, and refrigeration systems. One section was demolished and rebuilt due to structural issues. The project revealed unexpected challenges, including asbestos and an undocumented basement. The renovated facility now spans 182,000 square feet and was designed with flexibility for future expansion of processing technologies.<\/p>\n Processing Focus on Sous Vide and Searing<\/p>\n The plant features new technology for the company, including par frying and flame searing lines, alongside a significant sous vide processing system. The sous vide line, purchased before the facility was finalized, is a large, automated water cook-and-chill system with multiple tanks. The processing flow includes raw trimming and grinding lines that feed into the sous vide system. The plant is designed to allow for the addition of a second sous vide line in the future.<\/p>\n Automation and Employee Facilities<\/p>\n The facility incorporates automation, including robotic systems for case packing and palletizing, and uses autonomous guided vehicles to transport finished pallets. A key design consideration was employee welfare, leading to the inclusion of a dedicated area with a break room featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, an outdoor patio, and rooms for healthcare and nursing mothers. The company leadership emphasized care as a core value influencing these design choices.<\/p>\n Company History and Leadership<\/p>\n Standard Meat Co. was founded in 1935. The current co-presidents, siblings, assumed leadership over seven years ago. They describe a collaborative decision-making process, with one overseeing operations and finance and the other involved in broader leadership. The company returned to full family ownership in 2019.<\/p>\n Interactive table based on the Store Companies dataset for this report.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tSort: Rank \t\t\t\t\t# \t\t\t\t\t\t1 \t\t\t\t\t\t2 \t\t\t\t\t\t3 \t\t\t\t\t\t4 \t\t\t\t\t\t5 \t\t\t\t\t\t6 \t\t\t\t\t\t7 \t\t\t\t\t\t8 \t\t\t\t\t\t9 \t\t\t\t\t\t10 \t\t\t\t\t\t11 \t\t\t\t\t\t12 \t\t\t\t\t\t13 \t\t\t\t\t\t14 \t\t\t\t\t\t15 \t\t\t\t\t\t16 \t\t\t\t\t\t17 \t\t\t\t\t\t18 \t\t\t\t\t\t19 \t\t\t\t\t\t20 \t\t\t\t\t\t21 \t\t\t\t\t\t22 \t\t\t\t\t\t23 \t\t\t\t\t\t24 \t\t\t\t\t\t25 \t\t\t\t\t\t26 \t\t\t\t\t\t27 \t\t\t\t\t\t28 \t\t\t\t\t\t29 \t\t\t\t\t\t30 This report provides a comprehensive view of the prepared or preserved meat industry in the United States, tracking demand, supply, and trade flows across the national value chain.
