Industrial Board

Our collaborative industrial board includes a diverse group of 12 key stakeholders. These stakeholders are invested in the Center’s success and include poultry companies, food manufacturing and automation companies and foundations:

1. Poultry Companies:
   Representing various scales, from large (Tyson Foods) to medium (Simmons Foods, Harrison Poultry, Mar-Jac Poultry, Wayne-Sanderson Farms), and small (Claxton Poultry, Foodmate, Fieldale Farms). These companies bring valuable insights from poultry production and processing.
2. Food Manufacturing and Automation Companies:
   Marel and BAADER are two companies that specialize in food manufacturing and automation.
3. Foundations:
   The Georgia Poultry Federation and U.S. Poultry Association, prominent foundations, offer their support and insights across poultry production, food technologies, and intelligent food system development.

These dedicated stakeholders will actively participate in our project through regular virtual and in-person meetings, providing feedback on progress and supporting proposed extension activities. Their commitment ensures a robust collaboration that drives meaningful innovation.
