Standard Meat building fifth processing plant
Standard Meat Co. announced on Jan. 23 that it plans to start constructing a new protein processing plant in Fort Worth, Texas.
The 166,000-square-foot facility will sit in a renovated, historic 1955 meat processing plant in Fort Worth’s northside, close to the Standard Meat Co.’s headquarters in the Fort Worth Stockyards. The plant will be the fifth processing facility run by the company.

Fort Worth family-owned meat packing company opening new facility near Stockyards
Fort Worth-based Standard Meat Company is planning to renovate a nearly 70-year-old cold storage facility near the Stockyards to convert it into a specialized packing plant.
The 166,000-square-foot facility at 1101 NE 23rd St. will house a sous vide cooking line, which is the French method that involves vacuum-sealing meat in bags and cooking it under water at a consistent temperature.
The plant is located just outside the Historic Stockyards District, but not far from the restaurants that have sprung up since the area began its redevelopment in 2014.
The plant will have the capacity to house new packing and processing technologies to help meet the needs of commercial customers, the company says.
“At Standard Meat, we don’t demand that our clients choose from a fixed menu of products and services,” said CEO Ben Rosenthal in a statement. He emphasized the company’s focus on coming up with “out of the box solutions” to provide tailored services for each of its clients.

Standard Meat Company to build protein processing plant near Fort Worth Stockyards
Standard Meat Company has picked a site near its headquarters in the Fort Worth Stockyards for its fifth protein processing plant.
The historic space, a former meat processing facility that dates back to 1955, will be renovated into a modern, 166,000-square-foot factory, according to a Jan. 23 announcement. The company purchased the property at 1101 NE 23rd St. last year and plans to add a sous vide cooking line, a low-temperature cooking technique where food is vacuum-sealed and slowly cooked in a water bath.
