Golden, CO - Coleman Natural Foods, LLC, announces today that it received the "Poultry Industry 2006 Industry Innovator Award" during the National Chicken Council annual meeting in Washington, D.C. on October 5. Mark McKay, President, Coleman Natural Foods, Poultry Division accepted the award.
The Industry Innovator Award is presented each year by POULTRY Magazine to the company whose overall approach to marketing or management has not only improved its own bottom line, but also raised the standard of excellence for the entire poultry industry. Coleman operates poultry facilities in Fredericksburg, Pennsylvania and Petaluma, California.
Coleman Natural Foods is the leading United States processor, marketer and distributor of fresh and further prepared natural and organic proteins. Coleman Natural Foods was formed in August 2006 by merging BC Natural Foods, LLC, located in Golden, Colorado, with KDSB Holdings, LLC, headquartered in Gainesville, Georgia.
"Coleman was recognized for its innovative efforts to make Natural and Organic poultry products available in both the specialty and conventional retail channels," McKay said. "Our corporate commitment to sustainable business practices and environmental stewardship also distinguished our Company within the industry," he added.
Coleman is America's leading meat and poultry provider committed exclusively to bringing to market products from animals raised, fed and produced without ever using antibiotics, hormones, or artificial ingredients. For more than two decades, Coleman has advocated sustainable resources: promoting strict environmental standards to protect water, air, land and wildlife, and undertaking the largest reforesting eco-project in U.S. history.
"We work very hard to create a truly better poultry product -- one free of chemicals -- while also treating animals right and replenishing natural resources. We are working to do everything we can each day to earn the trust and confidence of consumers who are entitled to demand better foods," McKay said.
