In fact, one out of every three steaks and one of every five pork chops consumed in America today was produced by IBP. Yet remarkably, the company is less than 30 years old. Founders Andy Anderson and Currier J. Holman built IBP by applying seemingly simple concepts to one of America's most established industries.

From there, they shipped vacuum - packed boxed beef, already trimmed and packaged, to supermarkets across the country. With this single idea, and an unwavering attention to quality and efficiency, IBP transformed the industry.
