About Us

Born in 1935 in Fort Worth, Texas, Standard Meat has grown into a trusted global meat supplier, providing custom meat processing, portioning, cooking, and packaging solutions for leading foodservice brands, retail and e-commerce partners, and meal-kit companies. Family-owned for four generations, we've built our success on staying true to our core values: Integrity, Care, Determination, Scrappiness, and Celebration — with deep gratitude for our team members, our partners, and our community. We take pride in being a great place to work.

The Rosenthal family name behind Standard Meat is closely tied to the Rosenthal Meat Science and Technology Center at Texas A&M University, named for Manny Rosenthal, class of '42, whose father founded Standard Meat. The Center is a leading research institution in food safety, beef quality assurance, and meat science education, and many of our executives and managers hold advanced degrees in meat science from Texas A&M.

Today, we operate multiple plants across the DFW Metroplex, remaining dedicated to our Texas roots and to the growth of our community.

Purpose:  To inspire the connections and breakthroughs that ultimately feed our life.

Our Core Values:

• Integrity – Standing by your word no matter what.
• Care – Creating moments of genuine connection and support.
• Determination – Going the extra mile to deliver excellence.
• Scrappiness – Tackling problems in clever and resourceful ways.
• Celebration – Acknowledging others’ strengths and accomplishments.

Summer Internship Overview

Our Summer Internship Program gives students hands-on experience in our processing facilities located in Dallas, Fort Worth, Saginaw, and Ponder. Interns can focus in Research and Development, Food Safety and Quality Assurance, Production and Operations, Engineering, Information Technology, or Supply Chain.

Interns work daily in the facilities to understand process flow and production capabilities, build a deeper understanding of the food industry, and contribute to meaningful projects that are essential to the company's short- and long-term success. Along the way, they'll have the opportunity to interact directly with upper management, outside vendors, and customers.

We're looking for motivated self-starters who can work independently, manage their time well, and juggle multiple priorities, with strong interpersonal skills to match. Our interview process is rigorous, but we hope it's an enjoyable one for candidates who are excited about building a career in the meat industry.
