Grand Western Upper Midwest triples production capacity with advanced automation and expanded distribution capabilities
Spanning 60,000 square feet-three times the size of its previous location-the new facility is designed for maximum efficiency and innovation.
"This new facility is a game-changer for our operations and customers," said Tyler Zimmerman, General Manager of Grand Western Upper Midwest. "The increased capacity and advanced automation allow us to deliver the high-quality products our customers expect-more efficiently than ever before."
The expansion enables the facility to triple production. It also features a fully equipped kitchen and training center with space for up to 20 participants, supporting ongoing education and hands-on product training for both employees and customers.
Grand Western Upper Midwest continues to source premium meats from trusted ranches and farms, offering a robust portfolio that includes PFG-brands such as Braveheart, Ranahan Ranch, Contigo, Allegiance, and Piancone brands across beef, pork, veal, and lamb categories.
With service to eight operating companies via next-day delivery-and extended distribution on weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly schedules-the facility also strengthens PFG's PFA consolidation program, supporting 42 operating companies nationwide.
"We're thrilled to bring this level of innovation and scalability to our customers," said Adam Towns, Director of Sales. "This investment ensures we're ready to meet today's needs and tomorrow's growth opportunities while maintaining the exceptional quality our customers rely on."
PFG and Grand Western Upper Midwest celebrated this exciting new chapter with a grand opening event on April 30, 2025, welcoming customers, partners, and members of the community to tour the facility and learn more about its capabilities.
