Cold Chain Ops
R&FF
December 4, 2025

Creekstone Farms, in conjunction with Marble, is revolutionizing the meat industry’s processing capability using AI-powered automation at their Kansas facility.  

The addition of Marble’s Pack-Off and Box Verification technologies is reducing inefficiencies, allowing for increased sales opportunities, better decision-making with product-level analytics and improved customer satisfaction with automated sorting, box verification and claim traceability.  

“Since fully implementing Marble’s technology in September, customer claims for order issues have decreased 75%,” said Andrew Baltz, chief operating officer, Creekstone Farms. “With Pack-Off and Box Verification, we now have the ability to eliminate unintentional oversight, allowing for orders to be delivered on-time, in-full and with the correct items at increasingly high rates of success.” 

“With the help of Marble, we are now able to automate processes along the supply chain that the meat industry thought couldn’t ever be automated – and we are just getting started here at Creekstone,” said Baltz.  

Creekstone’s President and CEO, echoes the team’s enthusiasm for the increased efficiencies Marble’s products give to the company’s retail customers. 

“As Creekstone establishes ourselves as innovators within the meat industry, we are excited for where this partnership with Marble will take us into the future,” said Yoshinobu Takahashi, Creekstone president and CEO. 

Headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska, the team at Marble is passionate about tackling the toughest challenges in the food supply chain. By revolutionizing how the world processes food, Marble is advancing worker safety, increasing sustainability, and improving efficiency through integrated, full-stack solutions ready to meet the needs of the meat industry. 

Our goal is to increase efficiency and create new product value for our customers. By leveraging the power of AI, our automated Pack-Off solution delivers on both,” said Chafik Barbar, CEO, Marble. “We’re committed to building practical, advanced automation solutions that move the meat industry forward.”
