AdvancePierre Foods has used its new, culture-defining continuous-improvement program to drive bottom-line growth, fire on all cylinders and make targeted acquisitions as a uniquely positioned sandwich manufacturer and protein processor.
When John Simons began his stint as president and CEO of AdvancePierre Foods on Sept. 30, 2013, he saw the potential of the company he’d just been tapped to lead, as well as the challenges that lay ahead of the management team he began to assemble.
In conjunction with our 2015 Processor of the Year story, Andy Hanacek, editor-in-chief of The National Provisioner, traveled to Enid, Okla., to tour and visit AdvancePierre Foods’ Enterprise facility.
Bernie Panchot, senior V.P. of R&D, discusses the role of the R&D teams in the resurgent success that AdvancePierre Foods has experienced in recent years, leading to the company’s winning The National Provisioner’s 2015 Processor of the Year award.
AdvancePierre™ Foods (APF) has extended its premium Pierre Signatures line with three restaurant-style sandwiches sold in clear, hand-wrapped packaging: All Beef Cheddar Cheeseburger, Southern Style Chicken Breast with Cheese and Spicy Breaded Chicken Breast with Cheese.
Production will be relocated to AdvancePierre’s facility in Caseyville, Ill., a sandwich manufacturing operation the company acquired last month from Landshire Inc.
