FERRANTE BROTHERS NICK'S SAUSAGE COMPANY

 
 

garlic choppedSince 1973, when David and Peter Truitt took over a cannery in Salem, Oregon, Truitt Bros. has been more than just a food processor. We represent the third generation of a food processing family.

Located in the Willamette Valley, the premier growing region of the United States, we understand what fresh good food is all about. We pretty much have to - we're surrounded by it and purchase most of the products we process from the area. Our product lines include entrees, side dishes, bases and desserts.

Being a smaller company is our advantage. We're not so big we'll ignore smaller requests, yet we're a leader in the shelf stable food processing business - because this is all we do. And we're good at it!

We take special pride in running a successful family-owned-and-operated business, and get no greater satisfaction than knowing we're helping our partners succeed in their endeavors.

We're both involved in the day-to-day aspects of the company; from both the technological side of the business, to customer relationships.
