Site Visit: Menu Foods in Pennsauken is a Dog's Best Friend-Nestled
behind a series of industrial parks in Pennsauken sits an
impressively large pet-food manufacturing plant, Menu Foods Inc. On a
recent morning in July, the plant hosted an NJBIA Site Visit, showing
visitors that real manufacturing does still occur in New Jersey.
Democratic Assemblyman Jack Conners from the state's 7th Legislative
District and Frank Robinson and Christopher Emigholz from NJBIA were
among those who experienced the world of wet pet food in a guided
tour of the facility. Leading the tour were company Senior Vice
President Don Green and a few of his staff. The tour participants
were impressed with the volume of pet food being cooked, packaged,
labeled and tested and that whizzed overhead throughout the tour.

Menu Foods, a publicly held company since May of 2000, is the leading
maker of dog and cat food in cans or pouches in Canada and the United
States. Menu makes private-label or store brand pet food that is sold
by some of the nation's largest retailers such as Wal-Mart, Safeway,
Pet Valu, Wegmans, Kroger and Petsmart. The company has three plants
that together produce about 1 billion cans per year. The Pennsauken
plant opened in 1991. It employs 300 people, and its annual payroll
exceeds million.

Since 1997, more than 130 NJBIA member companies representing every
industry across the state have opened their doors to visits by state
legislators and other public officials as part of NJBIA's Site Visit
Program. For more information about the program, contact Libby Vinson
