Help us congratulate Dan McCarthy of McCarthy Equipment as our Supplier Partner of the Year. IMPPA recognized Dan during our recent 2025 Convention in Evansville, IN.
Thank you for the year of service to the meat processing industry.
At our recent convention, IMPPA recognized an operator and a supplier who has had an impact on the state and the industry.
Gary Parrett is a retired operator who`s journey in meat processing began in 1973. He spent decades working in the industry but not just in Indiana. He has impacted from locally to internationally. He has been a mentor to so many within our state.
Help us congratulate Gary on this well deserved award!

Is it just me or does prime rib taste better when it’s carved by association board members.
Thank you to Shaun Blake of Miller Scales & Food Machines and IMPPA Vice President and Chris Milam of Hampton Premium Meats and KAMP President for working the carving stations at our convention banquet!
Thank you to UW Provision for the donation of the great prime rib!

Our Fall 2024 event is right around the corner!
Let’s take a look at the great time had last year!
These fall events are great for meeting people and networking with members and suppliers! They are more laid back than conventions but offer a lot of fun and opportunities!
We hope to see you Sept 7, 2024!
