Golden state farms1/7/2024 (Martin Brower), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reyes Holdings, L.L.C. officially closes on the purchase of select Golden State Foods Corp. “At the end of the day, it’s all about all of us working as one and continuing to thrive and grow - not only Opelika, the state of Alabama, but this great country, America.” Wetterau added.The Martin-Brower Company, L.L.C. Wayne Morgan and his team did a remarkable job.” “There’s always one sparkplug and leader that makes a difference in every organization. “It was a dream of Wayne’s, and he came in and had to convince the board that it made economic sense,” he said. He also praised Morgan and his team for bringing the concept of the plant to fruition. In his comments at the opening ceremony, GSF chairman and CEO Mark Wetterau pointed out that the relationship between GSF and McDonald’s stretched back 65 years. “We’re a high-volume, low-SKU type of operation, so flow is critical to our success,” Morgan says. Processing is done through the middle of the plant, and the back of the facility holds the storage freezer and shipping area. Raw materials come in through the front of the facility and are stored in a cooler. The fact that the facility was a green-field project allowed GSF to design its process to be as efficient as possible in the production of burger patties. Those burger patties and other products will be shipped throughout the southeastern United States, as well as markets in the Caribbean islands, Puerto Rico and South America. While the majority of the products will be beef, the plant will also produce some pork products. It has 11 production lines for patties and a bulk grinding operation. Morgan says the plant will produce 170 million pounds of product in 2019.
