Midwest pork processor and packager serving retail and foodservice nationwide
Indiana Packers operates a vertically integrated pork production and processing facility in Delphi, Indiana, serving U.S. retail chains, restaurants, and export markets across 25+ countries. The tech stack is industrial-grade (PLC, AutoCAD, Megger) with no cloud or modern data platforms — typical for food manufacturing. Active hiring is heavily weighted toward manufacturing and operations roles, with 31 placements in the last 30 days and a Director of Engineering newly added to leadership; this signals capital-intensive modernization underway, confirmed by concurrent projects in refrigeration/boiler upgrades and preventive maintenance systemization.
