Independent Processor provides operators of small and midsize meat and poultry processing companies with unique editorial to improve their business, manufacturing and promotional strategies.
While other publications acknowledge the needs of this specific group, Independent Processor devotes cover-to-cover focused editorial to the small and midsize processor. Issues such as smaller-scale manufacturing, succession planning, employee training and food safety are discussed in a detail that no other publication can provide.
Independent Processor subscribers are forced to be leaner and more creative in order to succeed. Our editorial covers areas of importance, such as marketing, federal regulations, product de-velopment and sustainability. Each story features interviews with processors and industry experts.
SOUTHWEST MEAT ASSOCIATION
A SUPPLEMENT TO THE NATIONAL PROVISIONER
On Creating a Sense of Community “For us smaller meat industry operators, Independent Processor has improved our opportunity to read and see about similar plants. The articles are not only well written, but very informative and interesting. I (Seltzer’s) have located several items of interest through the adver-tisements in Independent Processor.”
-Ron Fouché, Seltzer’s Smokehouse Meats
On Staying Relevant “I read the magazine because I want to see how other smaller companies are staying relevant in the marketplace. What they do to stay ahead of the curve, whether it be new product lines, equipment, sanitation practices, packaging, etc.”
-Beau Heeps, President, K. Heeps Inc.
On Being Informative “What I like most about the Independent Processor is the cover sto-ries. I like to read about smaller companies and what they are doing today, to see if there is something we can apply to our company. The other magazines promote the larger companies that are in a much different position in the supply chain.”
-Larry Vad, President, Ideal Meat & Provisions Inc.
On Necessity “I consider Independent Processor mandatory reading for the smaller processor intent on growing his/her business.”
-Michael Satzow, President, North Country Smokehouse.
