"We are very excited to be working with AMSA in support of their efforts to further food science in the meat industry and continue to develop the next generation of food industry professionals,” said Jarrod McCarroll, Chairman of the Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA) and President of Weber, Inc. “We are proud to contribute to the Reciprocal Meat Conference and look forward to the many students and faculty that will be able to join us at PROCESS EXPO. Given our live production line demonstrations of ground beef patties and summer sausage, the extensive educational program, the Quad student program and our online job board, in addition to the presence of the meat industry’s leading suppliers among our exhibitors, PROCESS EXPO 2019 truly is a must attend event for students looking to go into the food industry.”
“As part of this agreement, we will be providing complimentary registration to PROCESS EXPO 2019 for any AMSA members and providing AMSA with a booth to promote their organization to the PROCESS EXPO audience,” said David Seckman, President & CEO of the Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA). “We feel that this is an excellent fit for both organizations and look forward to developing the relationship further in future years.”
