## About

Collier Wenderoth, Sr. founded OK Foods in the 1930s as a maker of poultry and livestock feed in the Arkansas-Oklahoma area, employing 12 people. By the 1980s, under Collier Wenderoth Jr., it became a fully integrated chicken producer as O.K. Industries, later led by Randy Goins, son-in-law of Collier Jr. Today, as Bachoco USA, OK Foods operates hatcheries, feed mills, processing plants, and a distribution fleet across Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Georgia. It produces chicken for retail, food service, quick-service restaurants, and commodity markets. Its TenderBird® brand was launched in the 1990s. In 2016, all entities consolidated into OK Foods, Inc. (per firm website). The company has made acquisitions post-2011, including a hatching egg operation in Hermitage, Arkansas (2013), a facility in Baldwin, Georgia (2014), and a fully-cooked plant in Oklahoma City (2016). It also expanded its Heavener Hatchery in 2016. The workforce totals over 4,000 (per firm website). What distinguishes OK Foods is its integration within Bachoco, Mexico's leading poultry producer, creating a cross-border operational structure uncommon in US poultry. The company maintains its own feed formulation and fleet, while adhering to principles of biosecurity and environmental sustainability across its supply chain.
