American Foods Group, Inc.
 PROFILE
American Foods Group is a bona fide Green Bay packer. It slaughters cattle and produces branded and private label beef cuts, sausage, ham, pork chops, and deli meats for sale to the grocery and food service industries. Its beef plant cranks out four million pounds of ground beef each week. The company operates refrigerated trucking unit Americas Service Lines and offers meats and other gift foods direct to consumers through its Ackerman & Cooke catalogs and Web site. CEO and owner Carl Kuehne purchased American Foods in 1985 and grew it through acquisitions and product development. The company grappled with a recall and lawsuits in 2000 after consumers became ill from E-coli-tainted ground beef.
