CMA is proud to be celebrating our 32nd year of serving the food industry with the highest quality meats and services. The company’s success is based on founder Jordan Dorfman’s business philosophy of partnering with, and responding to, customers’ needs better. In reaching this goal, CMA constantly strives to build a better-trained, more dedicated work force, so all involved are working with the e

nd in mind … the needs of the customer. Less management layers also benefits the customer in that they receive timely and decisive response to their needs. Chicago Meat Authority employs almost 400 people on three shifts, and is headquartered in the historic Chicago Stockyards. These business philosophies have produced a very dedicated and experienced workforce with 70% of CMA employees celebrating 5+ years. The company has finished off their most recent expansion which includes a new 20,000 square foot USDA-inspected plant located directly across 47th Place from CMA’s current plant.

How do we cut and pack one of our most popular product lines? It’s a smooth and calculated process for how we process our Back Ribs through the plant! Don’t forget, we remove every membrane from the ribs so you don’t have to 😉

Today Chicago Meat Authority celebrated our 36th year in business! To commemorate the anniversary, our President and Founder Jordan Dorfman addressed all CMA employees with a state-of-the-union speech in our plant. Jordan also handed out career-service awards to our team members celebrating 5-, 10-, and 25-year anniversaries with CMA. This year CMA had two Diamond League members celebrating 25 Years with the company - Eva Iniestra and Taiwo Sheleru! Thank you Eva and Taiwo for your dedication and everything you’ve given to CMA.

36 years in business is no small feat! To be successful in the meat industry takes years of hard work, dedication, loyal partners, and of course great meat. Over the last 36 years, we have created a better way for food service professionals and further processors to buy meat - with assured quality and integrity. To ensure continued quality and integrity with our products and services, we have grown with the times and upgraded capabilities, products, packaging, and more over the years. Starting at just 12 employees in 1990, CMA now has over 200 full-time team members to keep up with our worldwide customer base that needs quality beef, pork, and poultry products. We have built strong relationships with our partners that do business in retail, food manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, and all the way up to Fortune 500 companies across the globe.
At CMA, we strive to make sure every case or combo bin that our team sends out is packed with quality meat that every partner can trust to satisfy their hungry customers. After all, CMA would not be where it is today without our loyal partners that we have grown with over the last three and a half decades. We thank all our partners, dedicated employees, and all others who have made CMA what it is today. Here’s to 36 years of being “Your Authority on Quality Meats”! 🥩🥩🥩

Happy New Year from Chicago Meat Authority! As we welcome 2026, we’re filled with gratitude for our team here at CMA, all of our partners, and every single customer. Let’s eat some more meat in 2026! 🥩🎆🎇
