2024 Convention

We would like to say thank you to all that joined us at the 83rd PAMP Convention. It was a success with a high number in attendance. We had over 200 operator members and 47 supplier booths, making the overall attendance close to 300 members. We started the convention with the bus tour of Holland Brothers Meats and Imler’s Poultry, a great start to a wonderful weekend. As noted by everyone that joined the tour, it was an excellent experi-ence! Thank you to our past president, Mike Holland, for setting up the tour and offering our members to go through your shop, as well as providing a great lunch. All of the educational sessions were incredibly informative and beneficial to our members, made possible by the several knowledgeable speakers. We cannot thank them enough for sharing their input and providing us with helpful tips. THANK YOU!!

2023 Convention

The 82nd Pennsylvania Association of Meat Processors is now in the books — what a great convention!! Thank you to all who attended, speakers, and suppliers who helped make it great. The educational sessions were well attended and we know you learned something beneficial. The showcase is always helpful to our members and we could not do it without all the support from our suppliers and those that sponsor this event each year. The product competition was also a success with 329 entries and class 7 being the top class to have products entered (Specialty Flavored Fresh Sausage/Uncooked). Again, we could not make this all happen without the help and support of so many!! THANK YOU!!

A huge part of our annual convention are the various contests that our members look forward to every year. We’ve missed honoring the best our members have to offer, and we are proud to announce the 2023 winners.
