Archer's New Manufacturing Plant Opens in Los Angeles

Archer, the renowned American meat snack brand, recently celebrated the grand opening of its second manufacturing facility located in Vernon, California, just outside of downtown Los Angeles. This new state-of-the-art plant not only signifies growth for the company but also plays a vital role in meeting the increasing consumer demand for their popular clean-ingredient meat sticks. With this expansion, Archer is set to double its manufacturing capacity and create over 200 new jobs in the local community.

The new 140,000 square-foot facility is strategically positioned to allow Archer to swiftly address the soaring demand for their products. Founded by Eugene Kang, Archer has witnessed phenomenal growth, with projections indicating the company will surpass half a billion dollars in sales by the end of 2026. In an industry valued at $3.3 billion, Archer’s sales have skyrocketed by 90% year-over-year, significantly outpacing the category growth rate of 5.8%. The substantial increase in sales – specifically a remarkable 187.4% growth for Archer’s meat sticks – has positioned the brand as a leading force in the meat snack market.

During the opening ceremony, Eugene Kang expressed his excitement about the new facility: "Opening this facility in Los Angeles, the city that has been integral to our growth story, is a major milestone for Archer. This expansion ensures we can meet increased demand for our meat sticks while also setting us up for long-term category leadership by investing in our own infrastructure.” He emphasized that the new plant is not only a reflection of the company's current success but also a commitment to future growth.

The Vernon manufacturing plant enables Archer to produce over 36 million pounds of meat sticks annually, translating to more than one billion of their Mini Sticks. This increased production is vital as consumer trends continue to lean toward clean labels, protein-rich foods, convenience, and snacking options. Archer is proud of its commitment to crafting premium products made from grass-fed and grass-finished beef with no artificial fillers or shortcuts, aligning with its philosophy of "Stick to Real."

Archer operates an existing manufacturing facility in San Bernardino, where it employs 150 people. The addition of this new facility not only reinforces Archer’s operational capabilities but also demonstrates the company's commitment to investing in the local economy.

Furthermore, Archer’s growth is reflected in its product availability across over 30,000 stores nationwide. Some well-known retailers include Costco, Walmart, Target, and Starbucks. The brand has also garnered attention as the official meat snack partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, further solidifying its presence in the community.

As Archer continues to innovate and expand its product offerings, customers can expect to find their favorite flavors alongside new culinary-inspired options in stores across the nation. With a dedication to clean ingredients and quality, Archer remains a trusted choice for meat snack enthusiasts who desire delicious and wholesome options.
