Prime-Pak Foods, Inc. and Victory Processing, Inc. recently announced a joint venture that will be marketed under the name Foundation Food Group, and which will emerge as one of the most versatile independent further processing companies in the country.
Based in Gainesville, Georgia, Foundation Food Group™ will provide the food industry with a variety of distinct, value-added poultry products with the highest quality standards.

Skilled leadership, unlimited potential

Industry veteran Jerry Wilson was brought on in August, 2018 as CEO for Foundation Food Group. Jerry is a seasoned business development professional with 38 years in the poultry business.
Leading the financial side of the business will be CFO Kathy S. Ford.
