Bridgeview, Ill.-based Stampede Meat Inc. has announced it will change its name (and web site) to Stampede Culinary Partners Inc., effective immediately. The new company name and identity better reflects the job the company does: provide a host of top culinary solutions through extensive and powerful partnership, according to a release from the company.
Stampede, which was founded 29 years ago, had been primarily a meat processor through its early days, but has since evolved into a multifaceted provider of value-added and further processing of a variety of products.
“The words culinary partners resonate with who we are today,” said Brock Furlong, president & CEO. “We continue to be butchers by trade and have a disassembly skill set that is unmatched in the industry. However, over the past 15 years, Stampede has diversified its product range and processing capabilities with a strong emphasis on sous vide cooking technology.”
To Furlong’s point, Stampede notes in the announcement that it offers RTE and ready-to-cook poultry, pork and beef products, but also can slice, dice, sous-vide cook, smoke and sear products. It has capabilities to handle prepared meals, gourmet sous vide pet foods, alternative proteins and vegan options as well, in its plants in Oak Lawn and Bedford Park, Ill., Sunland Park, N.M., Alma, Ga., and Cambridge, Ont. (CAN).
