Crider Foods: The Trusted Manufacturing Partner in Private Label Protein Solutions

Crider Foods is a third-generation food packing partner with headquarters and state-of-the-art cook facilities in Stillmore, Georgia. Founded in 1944 under the name 'Crider Poultry', the company's newly opened processing facilities supported local families, butchers, and markets alike. It soon expanded into regional grocery stores, selling many of the same products under various second-label brands. After investing heavily in scale, the company's business strategy prompted an official transition to "contract food packing". Since then, it has made additional changes to its business model that refocused resources specifically on the cooking and canning process for mid-market and enterprise partners in the consumer, government, and nonprofit spaces.
Today, Crider Foods is the trusted category leader in fully-cooked chicken, pork, and beef products. Its products are the main protein in some of consumers' most beloved brands. They include canned meats, soups, ready-to-eat pouch foods, and fully cooked frozen foods, among many other applications. The company's leaders have expanded its capabilities to support ongoing growth with a new innovation center and test plant that make it the industry benchmark for quality, safety, and service.
"As we move into the future, Crider Foods is focused on expanding our international footprint. In addition to supporting the world's most beloved brands with nourishing foods - we plan to continue exploring our impact and how we can better serve our customer, team, and community." - Bill Crider
