Get Your Product Ideas Cooking

The Beef Innovations Group is equipped to work one-on-one with any packer, processor or manufacturer who is actively developing or refining beef and veal products that have the potential to increase demand for beef.  We also help retailers and foodservice operators who want to adopt new beef products in order to improve beef sales and better meet customer needs. There are many ways to work with our team, and services range from information sharing and marketing expertise to hands-on, in-operation technical or production assistance.  We can look at products from every angle—from conception to point of sale—looking for ways to optimize its potential. Companies who tap into our resources bring their toughest challenges, or lean on us for expertise they don’t have in-house.
