Nordic Foods, Inc. celebrates twenty years of business in the year 2000. Conceived and opened in 1980 as Polarpak Foods Inc. by three principals who now have over 100 combined years of experience in the food processing industry, the company had no customers, large debt, marginal facilities, high hopes and a good work ethic. The goal of the business was to manufacture various portion meat products, (raw, solid, chopped and formed, breaded and unbreaded) in sufficient quantities to continuously satisfy customers and to support the employees and families involved in the business. Over time, the company has achieved some measure of success in meeting its goals and is now operating from its third location, a 47,000 square foot facility designed to support its unique manufacturing requirements. Much of Nordic's business has evolved in assisting primarily institutional customers develop products with certain characteristics to fill particular needs. Some products are proprietary in nature and/or under private label and are shipped to food service distributors around the country. With a new generation of family members gaining prominence in our business we expect to attain future growth as we have in the past, by exploring new manufacturing techniques, maintaining high sanitation, quality and production controls in order to turn out the most consistent, reasonably priced products possible and deliver them in a timely way.
