Testimonials
“A major reason a company should join NAMA is to survive now, and to provide future generations in the meat trade with the experience and opportunities to learn from today’s packers and processors about how to create solutions.”
— Mike Satzow, North Country Smokehouse“Our industry gets attacked on a variety of issues — obesity, ‘pink slime’, whatever. Now we have one voice instead of two separate voices. We as an association need to be a proactive voice to consumers, not a reactive voice. We need to show consumers what we are doing to create safe, legal foods.”
— Jeff Saval, Deli Brands of America“I feel this new association will give the industry the voice and direction that it needs as we continue to address the many challenges our industry faces in producing safe, high quality products.”
— Bob Jensen, Jensen Meats
