Werling & Sons, Inc is a family-owned and operated company and has been in existence since 1886. The company was founded by Joseph A. Werling, who managed a meat market, and the first plant was built in 1946 by Albert Werling, Josephs son.Meat has been processed and packaged for individual home freezers at this plant since 1956. In 1966, beef was canned in metal cans. In the years that followed, Werlings also canned pork, chicken and turkey. In the canning process, raw meat is placed in cans, the cans are sealed, and the product is cooked in its natural juices.Werlings canned meats have become popular because of their convenience, low fat content, and non-refrigerated shelf-life. They also contain no preservatives. A retail store at the processing plant offers frozen cuts of beef and pork and our ever popular canned meats.
