National Accounts

Pilgrim's sells prepared chicken to the national and regional chain restaurants throughout the United States. Foodservice operators are increasingly purchasing prepared chicken products, which allow them to reduce labor costs while providing greater product consistency, quality and variety across all restaurant locations. Pilgrim's is well positioned to meet their requirements because we are able to ensure supply, demonstrate innovation and new product development and provide competitive pricing.

Major chains find Pilgrim's attractive due to our quality and food safety programs, multiple manufacturing sites with the newest technology, and our innovative new product development resources. Whether it's marinated and frozen all the way up to fully cooked, grill marked and cut into strips, Pilgrim's Corporation continues to provide high quality, innovative products to the chain restaurant segment delivered with service levels exceeding 99%.

We have been successful in becoming a supplier of choice to many large foodservice companies because we are vertically integrated, giving us control over our supply of chicken and chicken parts. Also, our further processing facilities, with a wide range of capabilities, are particularly well suited to the high-volume production as well as low-volume custom production runs necessary to meet both the capacity and quality requirements of the foodservice market. And finally, we have established a reputation for dependable quality, highly responsive service and excellent technical support.

Additionally, as a result of the experience and reputation developed with larger customers, we have increasingly become the principal supplier to mid-sized foodservice organizations. Our in-house product development group follows a customer-driven research and development focus designed to develop new products to meet customers' changing needs. Our research and development personnel often work directly with institutional customers in developing products for these customers. And we are a leader in utilizing advanced processing technology, which enables us to better meet our customers' needs for product innovation, consistent quality and cost efficiency. We are committed to our foodservice customers' success and will continue to work hard to consistently provide them with high-quality products and excellent customer service.
