  • This week Chicago Meat Authority celebrated our 35th year in business! To commemorate the anniversary, our President and Founder Jordan Dorfman addressed all CMA employees with a state-of-the-union speech in our plant. Jordan also handed out career-service awards to those team members celebrating 5-, 10-, and 25-year anniversaries with CMA. 35 years in business is no small feat! To be successful in the meat industry takes years of hard work, dedication, loyal partners, and of course great meat. Over the last 35 years, we have created a better way for food service professionals and further processors to buy meat - with assured quality and integrity. To ensure continued quality and integrity with our products and services, we have grown with the times and upgraded capabilities, products, packaging, and more over the years. Starting at just 12 employees in 1990, CMA now has over 200 full-time team members to keep up with our worldwide customer base that needs quality beef, pork, and poultry products. We have built strong relationships with our partners that do business in retail, food manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, and all the way up to Fortune 500 companies across the globe. At CMA, we strive to make sure every case that our team sends out is packed with quality meat that every partner can trust to satisfy their hungry customers. After all, CMA would not be where it is today without our loyal partners that we have grown with over the last three and a half decades. We thank all our partners, dedicated employees, and all others who have made CMA what it is today. Here’s to 35 years of being “Your Authority on Quality Meats”! 🎉🥩
