Beef production and processing at national scale with family-owned operations
American Foods Group operates a multi-plant beef production business across the United States, processing and distributing beef products to retail, foodservice, and institutional channels. The company is in active scaling mode—123 open roles with 74 posted in the last 30 days, heavily weighted toward manufacturing and operations floor roles (96 of 123 positions). Tech stack reflects a manufacturing-operations-first posture: Infor M3 (ERP), Kronos (labor management), and emerging data infrastructure (Databricks, Azure Data Lake, Microsoft Fabric) suggest simultaneous pushes on labor optimization and supply-chain visibility. Pain-point clustering around downtime, staffing, and compliance points to operational execution and safety as core business levers.
Notable leadership hires: Quality Assurance Lead, Fabrication Lead, Harvest Lead, Director of Accounting, Barn Lead
