Large-scale beef processing and fabrication with value-added consumer products
National Beef Packing operates eight production facilities across six states, processing millions of pounds of fresh beef, ground beef, and byproducts weekly. The tech stack is dominated by legacy manufacturing systems (Allen-Bradley controls, AS/400, IBM i, SQL Server) typical of mid-90s capital-heavy food operations. Current hiring acceleration is concentrated in manufacturing and operations roles, while active projects span food safety tech implementation, laboratory testing methodologies, and operational efficiency (5S, cash flow improvement, SOP development) — indicating a push toward modernization within existing infrastructure constraints.
