Meat processors will enjoy greater versatility with NuTEC’s 720 all-hydraulic, multi-outlet forming machine.

Foodservice distributor Jake’s Finer Foods, Houston, said it expects by April  to purchase certain assets of Gourmet Ranch.

In the final step of a merger that took place earlier this year, officials at Catelli Bros, Delimax Veal Inc., NRV, and Specialty Meats Inc. said they will operate under a newly formed parent company called Fontelli Food Group.

Several refrigerated and frozen food processors were among those recently honored as top suppliers by casual restaurant operator  T.G.I. Friday's USA, Carrollton, Texas.

Four companies – Catelli Brothers, Delimax Veal Inc., NRV, and Specialty Meats Inc. – said they have merged to become one of the nation's largest vertically integrated veal organizations.

The Enid (Okla.) News & Eagle reported that local processor Advance Food Co. agreed to purchase the operating assets of Whitaker Foods.
