Stampede Culinary Partners Opens New Test Kitchens in Two of Its Facilities

Stampede Culinary Partners Inc. has opened new test kitchens in its Sunland Park, N.M., and Alma, Ga., processing facilities, an investment of more than $3 million that gives the company more capacity to develop, test and refine innovative food solutions for its customers.

The new test kitchens replicate what the company already has built at its Bridgeview, Ill., headquarters, offering a hands-on product testing environment for customers and partners, since they are built around customer processes and environments. With various heating and cooking methods available, Stampede’s R&D team can show customers and clients exactly how products will work in their own kitchens.

Expanding the R&D processes that have worked in Bridgeview to Sunland Park and Alma gives Stampede the chance to respond to customer needs even faster.

These test kitchens also play a critical role in quality control for Stampede’s products coming off the processing floor, helping ensure quality across Stampede’s multiple locations, as each facility is equipped to perform hourly product tests across all lines.
