Cost Saving Strategies 

There is no doubt that quality and consistency are paramount to successful product marketing.  However, pricing must be reasonable to be competitive and marketable.  

Ellison Meat Company prides itself in being the "can do" company.  Not only do we have a modern facility with state-of-the-art equipment and processes, but we are engaged in continuous process improvement.  Our in-house plant engineer leads the effort to insure we are operating at maximum efficiency and continue to maintain "cutting edge" technology with cost effective upgrades. 

Our owners and employees have the Midwestern small town hard work ethic.  Dedication combined with continuous training assures low direct and indirect labor costs while still maintaining a safe work environment.  Safety, productivity, and attendance incentive pay reward our non-union employees for a job well done.  We are about the business of always improving! 

As a small company, decisions can be made quickly and efficiently.  Management and production personnel work hand-in- hand together.  All functions are well coordinated.  No employee operates in a vacuum or without proper direction. 

Ellison Meat Company has developed over its many years close relationships with suppliers.  This enables our buyers to obtain the highest quality at the least cost along with utilizing innovative strategies such as formula pricing, forward purchasing, maximum/cap price guarantee protection, to name a few. 

When it is all said and done, Ellison is uniquely positioned to offer exceptional cost savings.  Not only do we offer all the traditional techniques any well run company does, but we pride ourselves in quick response to any customer concern or problem.  On-time deliveries, filling unscheduled orders, communication, continuous improvement strategizing could not occur easier and more quickly in any partnership arrangement.   

Ellison Meat Company offers most all the advantages of an in house operation, yet still provides the cost savings of an efficient external contract partner.  This, in and of  itself, we believe will lead to greater long term efficiencies and total satisfaction than any other single item.
