Marx Imports Mission

We are uniquely positioned in the meat industry to drive change from within in order to improve the health of animals, consumers and the environment while pursuing growth and profits. As such we measure our success not through a singular pursuit of profit, but rather through the enhancement of four “bottom lines:”

1) Our People and Our Community.
We strive to create a rewarding and satisfying workplace where our employees can pursue their growth and career goals. Consistent with our position in the food industry, our charitable giving focuses on supporting charities that feed hungry people in the communities in which we operate.

2) Farm Animal Health & Well Being. We endeavor to improve the lives of farm animals by developing, introducing and promoting meat brands whose animal husbandry practices are as progressive and natural as possible.

3) Environmental Health.
We seek to develop, introduce and promote meat brands that originate on farms that proactively mitigate their environmental impact.

4) Growth and Profit.
We are convinced that doing well and doing good are not mutually exclusive. Accordingly, we intend to earn a profit through our business activities while pursuing our other three bottom lines.
