Volk Enterprises has been providing temperature measurement devices and packaging innovations for the poultry, meat, and seafood industries for more than 40 years. Originally founded by Tony J. Volk, a pioneer in modern poultry processing techniques, Volk Enterprises continues today as a family operated business and an unparalleled leader in innovative value-added packaging items for both the processor and consumer.

Since the 1960 invention of the Hok-Lok®, our original turkey trussing device, to today's Pop-Up® Timer and Cook'd Right Sensor, the company prides itself on being experts in producing high-quality products that are both dependable and affordable.

Volk's distinctive Pop-Up® Timer ‘pops' at the precise moment of doneness, for not only poultry, but meat and fish as well. From whole-bodied poultry and fish to beef and pork roasts, it's an easy way to add value to ready-to-cook items that consumers demand.

The Volk Cook'd Right Sensor also takes the guesswork out of cooking meat, poultry and fish by indicating exactly when a product has reached its peak of doneness. Just insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat - from burgers and steaks to fish fillets. The tip of the sensor indicates when the proper internal temperature has been reached. Both the Pop-Up Timer and Cook'd Right Sensor give professional and home cooks an extra measure of confidence - no more overcooked or undercooked meats.

Volk Enterprises, Inc. now employs over 100 individuals, and serves 50 states and over 15 international countries. Its subsidiary, Safety Today, allows Volk to move beyond food processing into the arenas of industrial, workplace, and employee safety, as well as foodservice hygiene and sanitation systems.

Volk Corporate headquarters are located in Turlock, California, with sales and distribution facilities in Norcross, Georgia, Columbus, Ohio, and Sao Paulo, Brazil - within hours of most major centers of the meat, poultry, seafood, industrial safety, and foodservice industries.
