Morrilton Packing Co. (Morrilton)
Not affiliated with Morrilton Packing Co.
THE QUICK READ
Morrilton Packing Co. operates in Morrilton, Arkansas, under the Petit Jean Meats brand, processing smoked hams, bacon, sausage, and hot dogs in a 48,000-square-foot USDA-inspected plant. Founded in 1928 by German immigrant Felix Schlosser, the company is now in its fourth generation of family ownership and is the only privately owned red meat processor still running in Arkansas. The facility does not slaughter — crews receive pre-trimmed pork cuts and run them through hickory smokehouses, curing lines, and vacuum-pack operations. A $2.1 million expansion in 2017 added a snack-stick production line and brought on roughly 34 new positions.
